| Reverse description | The crowned royal arms of Spain displayed as a quartered shield, featuring the castles of Castile and the lions of León in alternating quarters, with the granada (pomegranate) at the base, all surmounted by a royal crown. The mint mark M (for Mexico City) appears to the left of the shield, the assayer's initials MF to the lower left, and the denomination numeral 2 to the right. The mint mark M is repeated at the base beneath the shield. The peripheral legend INITIUM SAPIENTIAE TIMOR DOMINI runs clockwise around the design, separated by small ornamental stops, within a beaded inner border. |
