| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bold quartered cross occupying the full field, with the arms of Castile and León displayed in the alternating quadrants in the traditional Spanish colonial style. The cross is rendered with pronounced square terminals characteristic of macuquina coinage of the Potosí mint. A partial pomegranate or castle device is visible in one quadrant. The overall design is irregularly struck on a roughly shaped cob flan, with portions of the intended design falling off the edge of the planchet. Traces of the surrounding tressure or border are discernible on the better-preserved areas of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip V inherited the Spanish throne in 1700 as the first Bourbon king, triggering the War of Spanish Succession and leaving the colonial mints largely operating under administrative inertia while Spain itself was consumed by conflict. Potosí continued striking cob-style coinage — the irregular, chisel-cut planchets that had defined Spanish colonial silver since the sixteenth century — long after European minting had abandoned such methods.
KM#27 macuños from this period are notoriously inconsistent in flan quality, a product of the hand-hammered cob process rather than any particular deterioration in mint practice.
