| Obverse description | A crowned column (pillar) dominates the central field, flanked on either side by divided segments of the royal legend. The peripheral legend, separated from the inner field by a beaded or plain inner circle, reads the first half of the combined imperial inscription. A cross precedes the legend at its commencement. The design is typical of early colonial hammered coinage struck at the Mexico City Mint under the joint reign of Charles I and Joanna of Castile. |
