| Obverse lettering | ·CAROLUS·III· DEI ·GRATIA· 1772 (Translation: Carlos III By the Grace of God) |
| Reverse description | The crowned Arms of Castile and León occupy the central field, flanked by the two crowned Pillars of Hercules with their associated banners (the Plus Ultra columns), symbolizing Spanish dominion beyond the known world. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire device, incorporating the mint mark, assayer's initials, and denomination. The composition follows the standard Spanish colonial two-pillar heraldic design mandated by the 1772 coinage reform, replacing the earlier macuquina (cob) coinage. |
