| Reverse description | The quartered arms of Castile and León displayed within a quatrefoil or tressure border, representing the royal coat of arms of Spain. The castles of Castile and lions of León alternate in the four quarters of the shield, with a central escutcheon. The surrounding circular legend in Latin proclaims the king's dominion over Spain and the Indies. The overall style is characteristic of early eighteenth-century Mexican colonial milled coinage. |
