| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Pillars of Hercules — two crowned columns representing the Strait of Gibraltar — flanking a crowned globus cruciger or hemispheres motif resting on waves, symbolizing Spain's dominion over both hemispheres. The columns are shown with ornate capitals and bases, surmounted by individual crowns beneath a large royal crown at top center. The mint mark 'G' for Guatemala appears to the lower left, the assayer mark 'G' to the lower right, with the date 1759 inscribed in the exergue below the central device. The encircling legend VTRA QUE VNUM separates the design from the reeded edge. |
