| Reverse description | Central design depicts a crowned figure, identified as Hercules, standing and holding a sword aloft, positioned above two terrestrial globes set upon waves, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The composition is an adaptation of the classic Spanish Pillars of Hercules motif, symbolising Spanish dominion over both the Old and New Worlds. The surrounding legend reads · VTRAq · VIRT · PROTEGO · followed by the mintmark F, the date, and mint letter M. The overall style is consistent with the primitive engraving characteristic of the Manila Mint's early copper issues. |
