| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of King Charles IV facing right, struck in high relief with detailed hair and military collar visible. The effigy is rendered in the neoclassical portrait style characteristic of late Spanish colonial coinage. The date 1790 appears in the lower exergue beneath the bust. The circular legend surrounds the portrait, interrupted at the base by the date. |
