| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the crowned royal arms of Spain, rendered as a quartered shield surmounted by an arched royal crown. The quarters display the castles of Castile and the lions of León in alternating arrangement, with the Bourbon dynastic escutcheon of Anjou (fleurs-de-lis) on an inescutcheon at the center. The mint mark 'S' (Seville) and assayer initials 'PJ' flank the shield to the left and right respectively, along with the denomination numeral '1'. The surrounding legend, separated by rosette stops, reads PHILIPPUS V D G R I P S J, denoting Philip V by the grace of God, King. |

| Additional information |
Felipe V reclaimed the Spanish throne in 1724 after briefly abdicating in favor of his son Luis I, who died of smallpox after just seven months. The Seville mint's output during the 1731–1745 window spans the final stretch of Felipe's second reign, a period marked by sustained colonial silver imports feeding the peninsular mints even as war with Britain repeatedly disrupted Atlantic shipping lanes.
Seville's macuquina coinage had been formally replaced by milled production in the early 1730s, making this among the transitional issues where die quality and planchet preparation improved markedly over the preceding cob era.
