| Reverse description | Bold Jerusalem cross (cross of Burgundy pattern) centered on the flan, featuring four equal arms that terminate in crosslets, with the quadrants between the arms each filled with a lion or castle motif in the cob style. The cross is deeply struck and dominates the irregular flan, surrounded by a beaded border that follows the natural outline of the planchet. The overall execution is characteristic of the macuquina hammered coinage produced at the Lima mint during the late Habsburg period. |
