| Reverse description | A crowned lion rampant at center, holding a sword in one forepaw and orbs (globes) in the other, standing above stylized waves, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend encircles the device, invoking the monarch's role as protector of virtue in both the Old and New Worlds, with the mint date and Manila Mint mark (MA) incorporated within the legend. The overall composition reflects the standard iconography of Spanish colonial coinage issued for the Philippines. |
