| Reverse description | The reverse features the crowned Royal Arms of Spain at center, displaying the quartered shield with the castles of Castile and lions of León in the principal quarters, with a small escutcheon at the base bearing the fleur-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty. The shield is surmounted by an ornate royal crown and flanked on either side by the Pillars of Hercules, each wrapped with a banner. The circular Latin legend surrounding the design reads ·HISPAN·ET IND·REX·PTS·P·R·, identifying Charles III as King of Spain and the Indies, with the Potosí mint mark (PTS), assayer initial (P), and denomination mark (R) also present in the legend. |
