| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bold Greek cross with splayed arms dividing the field into four quarters, each containing alternating castles (Castile) and rampant lions (León) in diagonal arrangement. The entire cross design is contained within a decorative quatrefoil or octolobe border, a hallmark feature of the Spanish colonial macuquina (cob) coinage of this period. The partial peripheral legend ET INDIARVM REX, completing the obverse inscription, identifies Philip II as King of the Indies. The irregular flan shape and characteristic die alignment are typical of hand-struck cob coinage produced at the Lima mint in the third quarter of the sixteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Felipe II's Peruvian mint at Lima was authorized under the 1565 ordinances that restructured colonial coinage following chronic fraud at the Mexico City facility. The Lima casa had only begun striking silver in 1568, making this Cross type among the earliest products of that mint's operation. Assayer oversight was notoriously inconsistent in these first years — several Lima assayers of the 1570s were later investigated or removed for producing underweight cobs.
MB#7 places this squarely in the macuquina tradition: hand-cut planchets, variable shape, struck cold between dies. Die alignment and centering were entirely at the discretion of the striker.
