| Reverse description | The reverse of the host Spanish 4 Reales coin displays the draped laureate bust of Carlos IV facing right, rendered in a classical portrait style typical of late 18th-century Spanish colonial coinage. The bust is surrounded by a circular legend in Latin identifying the king and invoking divine authority. The field around the effigy is plain, and the overall design follows the standardized portrait type introduced under the Bourbon monetary reform. |
