Obverse description Central crowned royal shield of Castile and León, displaying quarterly arrangement of castles and lions, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The irregularly shaped flan, characteristic of cob coinage, results in partial visibility of the surrounding Latin legend. The die-struck design reflects the crude but functional aesthetic of early colonial hammered silver production at Potosí.
Obverse script Latin
Obverse lettering PHILIPVS , III , D , G ,
(Translation: Phillip 3rd., by Grace of God)
