| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the quartered royal arms of Spain surmounted by a large royal crown, displaying the castles of Castile and lions of León in the four quarters with a central escutcheon bearing the fleur-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty. The shield is rendered in a bold, slightly archaic style typical of colonial milled coinage. Surrounding the arms, a circular Latin legend reads FRD • VI • D • G • HISP • ET • IND • REX, invoking Fernando VI by the grace of God, King of Spain and the Indies. Small rosette or floral stops separate the legend elements, and the entire design is contained within a plain raised rim. |
