| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, representing the kingdom of León. The legend surrounding the circle is partially visible due to the irregular cob flan, which is typical of hammered macuquina coinage. The rough, uneven surfaces and edge contours are consistent with hand-struck colonial quarter real production from the Potosí mint. |
