Central device features the quartered royal arms of Spain — castles of Castile and lions of León in opposing quarters, with a small central escutcheon — surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is rendered in moderate relief with visible though worn detail on the quartering. A circular Latin legend surrounds the field, reading CAR · IV D · G · HISP · ET IND · R ·, identifying Carlos IV as King of Spain and the Indies by the grace of God. The design is characteristic of late-18th-century colonial copper coinage produced at the Manila mint. |

The reverse depicts a allegorical scene of two hemispheres or globes flanking a central element, representing the two worlds of the Spanish Empire — the Old World and the New. The design is rendered in low relief and shows considerable wear consistent with heavy circulation. The surrounding legend reads VTRUMQ · VIRT · PROTEGO, followed by the mintmark F, the date (1799 on dated examples), and the Manila mint mark M. The composition reflects the imperial Spanish colonial ideology of dominion over both hemispheres. |
