| Reverse description | Reverse displays the Jerusalem cross design typical of Spanish colonial cob gold coinage, with a bold cross pattée dividing the field into four quadrants. The denomination numeral '2' appears prominently in the upper-left quadrant, with partial elements of the mint mark, assayer initial, and date distributed across the remaining quadrants. Partial legend VTRAQUE UNUM ('Both as One'), the motto of the Spanish Crown, is visible around the periphery along with the date (partially legible). The characteristic pomegranate and floral ornaments of the Lima mint may appear at the extremities of the cross arms. The overall strike and flan shape are irregular, consistent with the hand-struck macuquina technique. |
