| Obverse description | Draped bust of Philip V facing right, with long flowing curled hair, set within a beaded inner border. The king is portrayed in the Baroque style typical of early 18th-century Spanish coinage, without armor. The encircling Latin legend reads PHILIP V D G HISPAN ET IND REX, with the date 1742 divided at the base of the bust. The portrait reflects the work of the Madrid mint engravers in the macuquina-to-milled transition period. |
