| Obverse description | Central crowned royal cypher of Philip III, composed of interlaced letters P and S surmounted by a crown, all struck in the typical irregular cob style. The assayer's initial and the Potosí mint mark (P) appear to the left of the monogram in the field. A partial legend reading PHILIPPVS III DG runs along the periphery, though heavily truncated due to the irregular flan characteristic of macuquina coinage. The overall design is boldly struck in hammered relief on an irregularly shaped silver planchet. |
