Obverse description Central field displays a crowned heraldic shield divided into two registers: the upper register bears a crown motif, while the lower register contains a smaller escutcheon. The shield is flanked on either side by scrolling supporters or decorative foliate elements. The entire design is enclosed within a raised inner border, itself surrounded by a beaded or rope-like outer rim. The overall style is characteristic of Spanish colonial heraldic coinage of the early eighteenth century.
