| Reverse description | Reverse of the host Spanish Colonial 8 Reales, modified by the removal of a crenelated center plug for Tobagan colonial currency use. The remaining annular field displays the crowned Royal Arms of Spain flanked by the Pillars of Hercules, each surmounted by a crown, with waves at the base. The circumferential legend reads HISPAN ET IND REX, with the mint mark M, denomination 8R, and assayer initials FM also visible around the border. The large scalloped central void obscures the central shield detail. The outer border retains its original toothed milled rim. |
