| Obverse description | A quarter-circle segment cut from a Spanish colonial silver coin, retaining partial design elements of the host coin including fragments of the original legends and devices visible in the field. Two circular countermarks are applied to the obverse, each bearing a crowned device or mark, consistent with official Saint Lucia countermarking practice of 1811. Portions of the host coin's decorative motifs, including floral or foliate elements, are visible at the margins of the fan-shaped flan. |
