| Reverse description | A crowned lion passant, grasping an upright sword in its right forepaw, is depicted at center within a beaded inner circle. This heraldic device derives from the arms of the Kingdom of León and serves as the principal reverse type for Philippine quartos of this period. The surrounding legend, separated from the central device by the beaded border, reads '· VTRAq · VIRT · PROTEGO ·', declaring the monarch's role as protector of virtue in both worlds. The mint signature 'MA' for Manila and the date '1834' appear within the legend. The composition and style are consistent with the Manila Mint's colonial copper coinage production. |
