Obverse lettering PHILIPPVS V DEI GRATIA
Reverse description Bold upright cross potent with trefoil terminals occupying the central field, set within a decorative tressure of arched lobes and pellets forming an ornate quatrefoil border — the characteristic Jerusalem cross design used on Spanish colonial cob coinage. The cross divides the field into four quadrants, each containing a decorative fleur-de-lis or pellet ornament. The surrounding legend is largely off-flan, as is typical for macuquina-type cob coins of this period.
