Countermark with lattice design

This Acclamation of King medal is made on 2 Reales planchet. As used on the time, legends are in latin.

"Carolus" for Carlos (Charles), "D.G." for Dei Gratia => Por la Gracia de Dios (For the Grace of God)

The date shows "D." at start for "Dia del Señor" (Lord's day), and day in roman numerals instead of the year.
