| Reverse description | A crowned royal shield of the Spanish monarchy occupies the center of the reverse, displaying the quartered arms of Castile and León with the Granada pomegranate in base. The assayer's initial appears to the left of the shield and the denomination numeral to the right. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, with the Mexico City Mint mark (Mo) prominently placed, typically at the base of the legend. The overall composition follows the standard layout of the Spanish colonial milled gold coinage series. |
