| Obverse description | Crowned monogram of Philip V ("PV") in the central field, struck on an irregular cob flan typical of macuquina coinage. The assayer's initial appears below the monogram, with the mint mark "P" for Potosí visible to the left. The denomination numeral "9" (representing the half real value in the colonial shorthand) appears in the lower field. The design is characteristically irregular in outline, with weak areas of strike consistent with hammered cob production. Latin legends are partially visible around the periphery of the flan. |
