Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse displays a quartered shield at the centre, bearing alternating castles (for Castile) and rampant lions (for León) in the four quarters, with a small oval escutcheon at the fess point. An ornate floral or foliate scroll device surmounts the shield. The entire central composition is encircled by a decorative wreath of olive or laurel branches interspersed with berries, all contained within a beaded border. No legend appears on the reverse, the design relying entirely on the heraldic motifs traditional to Spanish colonial coinage of the period.

Aanvullende informatie

Chile's 1/4 real of 1790–91 belongs to the transitional moment when Carlos IV had taken the Spanish throne but minting establishments across the Americas had not yet received — or had not yet acted on — new royal portraiture. The result was a coin struck in Carlos IV's name carrying the bust prepared for his father. This was not unusual; the lag between a monarch's accession and the circulation of updated dies through the colonial minting network routinely ran one to two years.
