| Obverse description | A crowned lion rampant facing left occupies the central field, depicted in bold relief with forelegs raised and tail curling upward, serving as the heraldic symbol of the Kingdom of León. The figure is rendered in a compact, stylized manner characteristic of late Spanish colonial coinage. No legend or inscription surrounds the device; the field is plain within a beaded border encircling the entire obverse. |
