| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of King Charles III facing right, rendered in the style of the Spanish colonial portrait coinage. The effigy displays curled hair tied with a ribbon at the nape, with a lace cravat and armor visible at the shoulder. The circular Latin legend reads CAROLUS III DEI GRATIA, interrupted at the base of the coin by the date, with dots serving as word separators. A milled border of fine beading frames the entire design. |
