| Obverse description | The central field features the interlaced royal cypher of Carlos III — the letters 'C' and 'S' intertwined — surmounted by a large royal crown. To the left of the monogram appears the legend REX, and to the right the regnal numeral III, flanking the device horizontally. The date 1768 is inscribed in the lower field beneath the monogram. The design occupies nearly the full flan, with a reeded border encircling the periphery. The composition is bold and typographically austere, characteristic of Bourbon-era reform coinage patterns. |
