| Reverse description | The crowned Royal Arms of Spain, quartered with castles and lions, divide the denomination value at center, surrounded by the collar and badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The mint mark, assayer initial, and denomination indicators flank the shield. The circumferential legend IN·UTROQ·FELIX·AUSPICE·DEO surrounds the composition, expressing the motto 'Happy in both, under the auspices of God.' The overall design is characteristic of the bust-type coinage introduced under Charles III for Spanish colonial mints. |
