| Obverse description | Central device features the crowned Royal Arms of Spain — the quartered shield displaying the castles of Castile and the lions of León, with the Bourbon dynastic escutcheon at center — all surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is flanked on either side by crowned pillars of Hercules, representing the Pillars of the New World. A circular legend surrounds the design reading CAR . III . D . G. IND. R., identifying Charles III as King by the Grace of God and King of the Indies. The overall style is characteristic of the Lima Mint's macuquina-to-milled transition coinage of the mid-18th century. |
