| Reverse description | Central device depicts the crowned hemispheres design — two globes representing the Old and New Worlds, flanked by the crowned Pillars of Hercules, the whole surmounted by a royal crown. This type is characteristic of the Lima Mint milled coinage under Charles III. The circular legend VTRA QUE VNUM encircles the design, a Latin phrase meaning 'Both as One,' referencing the unity of the Spanish realms. Below the hemispheres in the exergue area the date 1763 is struck, with the Lima Mint mark LM and assayer initials JM appearing within or adjacent to the legend. |
