| Reverse description | The reverse presents two crowned hemispheres representing the Old and New Worlds, positioned side by side at center, flanked by the Pillars of Hercules with scrolling banners bearing the PLUS VLTRA device. The composition is characteristic of the newly introduced milled pillar coinage design first struck at Mexico City in 1732. The circular Latin legend VTRAQUE VNUM encircles the design, expressing the motto 'Both as One,' referring to the union of the two hemispheres under the Spanish Crown. The mint mark Mo appears to the left of the date, and the date 1732 is placed at the bottom of the reverse field, with a second Mo to the right. The design represents a significant departure from the cob (macuquina) coinage it replaced, showcasing refined mechanical minting technique. |
