| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Charles IV facing right, his hair tied at the nape with a ribbon bow, rendered in the portrait style standard to late Spanish colonial coinage. The effigy occupies the central field, with the mint date 1801 positioned in the lower exergue flanked by pellet stops. The encircling Latin legend reads CAROLUS IIII DEI GRATIA, distributed around the periphery, with the whole bounded by a finely milled border of raised beads. |
