| Obverse description | Central design features a royal crown rendered in fine relief, positioned above the date 1859, all enclosed within an inner beaded circle. A small fleur-de-lis ornament appears at the base of the design below the date. The circumferential legend reads ISABEL 2A POR LA GRATIA DE DIOS, distributed around the field between the beaded circle and the milled border. The overall composition is bold and uncluttered, typical of mid-nineteenth-century Spanish colonial pattern coinage. |
