| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of King Fernando VI facing right, rendered in the Baroque style typical of early Spanish colonial milled coinage. The portrait features elaborate flowing wig with curled locks, a cuirass visible at the shoulder, and a finely detailed face in profile. The peripheral legend reads FERD VI D G HISPAN ET IND REX, separated by small ornamental stops, running clockwise around the bust. The date 1747 appears prominently in the lower exergue beneath the portrait. A beaded inner border frames the entire design. |
