| Reverse description | The crowned Royal Arms of Spain occupy the central field, depicting the quartered shield with castles and lions, surmounted by a royal crown. The Pillars of Hercules flank the shield on either side, representing the Strait of Gibraltar and the motto of the Spanish monarchy. The mint mark PTS (Potosí) and assayer initials appear in the legend, along with the denomination indicator R. The circular legend HISPAN·ET IND·R·PTS·P·J· surrounds the central device, all within a reeded border. The overall composition follows the standardized design introduced for Ferdinand VII's colonial coinage. |
