| Reverse description | Two crowned hemispheres displayed centrally, flanked on either side by crowned columns of Hercules representing the Pillars of Hercules, with a partial circumscribed legend around the periphery and the date partially visible at the bottom of the field. The design follows the standard macuquina two-worlds type introduced for Spanish colonial coinage, with the strike being irregular and incomplete due to the cob production method. The planchet is roughly triangular and shows characteristic surface porosity and die-wear consistent with mid-eighteenth-century Guatemala mint output. |
