Reverse description Irregularly shaped cob flan with a prominent crowned royal cipher at center, comprising the interlaced and overlapping letters F and I (Fernandus VI) surmounted by a royal crown in relief, all characteristic of the macuquina monogram type issued at Lima under Fernando VI. The denomination numeral and assayer's initial are partially visible in the field. The legend, where present on the flan, references the king's titles and the mint of issue. The strike, as typical of hammered cobs, is off-center with parts of the design extending beyond the planchet edge.
