| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped cob flan typical of macuquina coinage. The central device displays a crowned quartered shield bearing the castles of Castile and lions of León in alternating quarters, rendered in low relief as was standard for hammered Lima Mint coinage of this period. The assayer's initial and mint mark appear flanking the shield, partially visible on this specimen. The overall strike is characteristic of mid-18th century Peruvian macuquina production, with the design occupying only a portion of the roughly trimmed planchet. |
