Reverse description Reverse of this one-third cut segment of a Spanish colonial 8 Reales cob, displaying a partial crowned monogram or cross design from the original host coin. The partial circular legend reads CAROLUS · III, identifying the host coin as struck under the authority of King Charles III of Spain. The surface is characteristically rough and uneven, typical of macuquina (cob) coinage, with the straight cut edge clearly visible and the curved arc retaining remnants of the original coin's border. The design elements are heavily worn and partially obscured by the cutting process.
