| Obverse description | The quartered Spanish royal arms occupy the central field, displaying castles and lions in the traditional Castile-León arrangement, surmounted by a royal crown, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The shield bears the characteristic rough, somewhat crude execution typical of the Manila Mint's early copper coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery between the beaded circle and the coin's edge, invoking the royal title of Carlos III. |
