| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of King Ferdinand VI facing right, rendered in the Baroque portrait style characteristic of mid-18th-century Spanish coinage. The king's hair is styled in an elaborate curled periwig falling to the shoulder, with fine detail in the locks. The circular Latin legend reads FERDINAN · VI · D · G · separated by small rosette stops, running from the lower left around the upper periphery. The mint date appears prominently in the lower field below the effigy. The entire design is contained within a finely beaded inner border. |
