| Obverse description | Draped laureate bust of Ferdinand VII facing right, rendered in the neoclassical style characteristic of late Spanish colonial coinage. The king's hair is tied at the nape with a ribbon, and the truncation of the bust is lightly draped. The date 1821 appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by dots. The surrounding legend reads FERDIN·VII·DEI·GRATIA, distributed around the periphery with the portrait centrally positioned in the field. The entire design is enclosed within a reeded border. |
