| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold Jerusalem cross with ornamental fleurs-de-lis at the extremities, set within a quadrilobe composed of four tressured arches, dividing the field into four sections each bearing a lion or castle. The design is characteristic of Spanish colonial cob gold coinage, struck on an irregular planchet with much of the peripheral legend off-flan. The cross motif is deeply impressed, with visible relief despite the uneven surface typical of macuquina production at the Mexico City mint. |
