| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Carlos III facing right, rendered in the portrait style introduced for the milled coinage series. The king's hair is shown with curled locks tied with a ribbon at the nape, and his shoulders are covered with an ornate cuirass and lace jabot. The circular legend CAROLUS·III·DEI·GRATIA is arranged around the periphery, read from the lower left, with the date — here 1773 — positioned in the lower exergual area between two pellets. A fine milled border frames the entire design. |
