| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a crowned shield of Castile bearing a triple-towered castle, surmounted by a royal crown. The mintmark 'P' (for Potosí) appears to the right of the shield, with the assayer's initial to the left. The legend, partially visible due to the irregular cob flan, runs around the periphery in Latin script. The overall design is characteristic of the macuquina (cob) coinage of the Spanish colonial mints, with the device struck on an irregularly shaped planchet. |
