| 表面の説明 | Central field dominated by the crowned royal cypher of Philip III — an interlaced 'P' and 'S' monogram — rendered in the characteristic rough style of cob coinage. The assayer's initial appears to the left of the monogram, with the mint mark to the right. A partial circular legend reading PHILIPPVS III D G runs around the periphery, though only fragmentary portions are typically visible on these irregularly shaped planchets. The overall design is struck on an uneven, roughly clipped flan characteristic of macuquina production. |

| 裏面の説明 | Quartered shield of the Royal Arms of Castile and León, divided by a bold cross of Jerusalem extending to the edges of the flan. The upper-left and lower-right quarters display the castles of Castile, while the upper-right and lower-left quarters bear the lions of León. The shield is struck in the characteristic irregular fashion of hammered cob coinage, with the cross serving as the dominant design element. Portions of the surrounding legend and additional heraldic detail are only partially visible due to the nature of the irregular planchet. |

Philip III inherited the Potosí mint at the height of its output — Cerro Rico was producing roughly half the world's silver in the late sixteenth century, and cobs like this one were the unglamorous workhorses of that torrent. Cut from a cast bar, hammered between crude dies, and clipped to approximate weight, macuquinas were never meant to be pretty. They were meant to move money across an ocean.
The assayer responsible for each cob struck his initial into the die, creating accountability within the mint — a system that would later expose the catastrophic fraud uncovered at Potosí in 1649, after Philip III's reign had already ended.
