Reverse description The crowned royal arms of Spain occupy the central field, featuring the quartered shield with castles of Castile and lions of León in the principal quarters, and a small escutcheon at centre bearing the fleur-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty. The shield is flanked on either side by the Pillars of Hercules, each surmounted by a crown, representing Spain's colonial dominion. The circular legend reads HISPAN ET IND REX, with the mint mark NR (Nueva Reino, for Bogota), the denomination 2R, and the assayer initials JJ distributed around the periphery. The entire design is enclosed within a reeded border.
