| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the Pillars of Hercules design, featuring two crowned columns flanking a crowned globe set above two hemispheres resting on waves, representing the Old and New Worlds united under the Spanish Crown. Scroll banderoles bearing the motto wrap around the columns. The mint mark (Mo), assayer initial (M), and date (1746) appear in the lower portion of the legend, separated by pellet stops. The surrounding Latin legend reads VTRA QUE VNVM, affirming the unity of both hemispheres. The reeded edge border is visible on the lower portion of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Felipe V died in July 1746, meaning coins dated 1747 under his name were struck posthumously — a routine occurrence when news of a monarch's death reached Mexico City weeks after the fact, and dies already in use simply continued running. The overlap between his reign and that of Fernando VI created brief periods where both names appeared on circulating silver simultaneously.
These cob-style half reales from Mexico City are notorious for off-center strikes and irregular flans, a product of the macuquina process still in use at the mint before milled coinage fully displaced it.
