| Obverse description | Cob-style hammered flan of irregular shape with a centrally placed crowned shield of Castile and León, struck in low relief typical of macuquina coinage. The quartered arms display castles and lions in alternating fields, surrounded by the partial legend of the royal titulature. The strike is characteristically off-center and uneven, with portions of the legend weak or absent due to the nature of the cob-minting process. The overall design is crude yet consistent with colonial Spanish cob coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
