| Reverse description | Two crowned hemispheric globes displayed in the center, flanked by the Pillars of Hercules, each column surmounted by a royal crown and entwined with a banner bearing the motto 'PLUS VLTRA'. The mint mark 'Mo' for Mexico City appears to the left of the date, with the assayer's initial to the right. The date is positioned at the bottom of the field between the bases of the pillars. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire design, with a beaded border at the rim. The reverse exemplifies the classic 'columnario' (pillar dollar) type, symbolizing the two worlds of Spain's empire united under the Crown. |
