| Obverse description | Central device features the crowned Royal Arms of Spain, displaying the quartered shield with castles and lions, with a small escutcheon at center, surmounted by an elaborate royal crown. The shield is rendered in a compact, somewhat crude colonial style characteristic of the Guatemala Mint's early milled coinage. The peripheral legend runs clockwise around the field, separated from the central device by a toothed inner border. The die workmanship reflects the colonial machined (milled) technique introduced at the Guatemala City Mint from 1733. |
