| Reverse description | The reverse displays a pelican in her piety at center, wings displayed, feeding her young from her own breast, perched above a globe resting on a flat ground line — an emblematic device symbolizing selfless nourishment and the indispensability of copper coinage. The surrounding legend SINE ME REGNA FATISCUNT, meaning 'Kingdoms crumble without me,' encircles the design in bold Latin capitals. The date 1769 appears in the lower field, flanked on either side by the Mexico City mint mark 'Mo', all within a milled border. |
