| Reverse description | Central field displays a bold crowned cross potent quartering the field into four sections, each containing alternating castles and lions representing the kingdoms of Castile and León, rendered in the crude but distinctive macuquina hammered style. The cross is bold and prominent, occupying most of the available flan, with a tressure or decorative border partially visible around the perimeter. The mint mark of Potosí (P) along with the assayer's initial appear in the field, though precise placement varies by emission as documented in the mintage records. A partial Latin legend is present around the periphery, interrupted by the irregular flan edges characteristic of cob coinage of this period. |
