| Obverse description | Crowned quartered shield of the Spanish Royal Arms, displaying castles and lions in alternating quarters, struck in typical cob (macuquina) fashion with irregular planchet edges. The mint mark 'P' for Potosí appears to the left of the shield, with the assayer's initial visible alongside. Partial Latin legend surrounds the shield, though much of it falls off the irregular flan. The date 1652 is partially visible in the legend field, characteristic of the hurried production methods of the Potosí mint during this period. |
