| Reversbeschreibung | Central design features a bold Greek cross with trefoil terminals, dividing the field into four quadrants each bearing alternating castles and rampant lions within a quatrefoil or curved inner border, representing the arms of Castile and León. The denomination numeral '2' appears to the left of the cross, with the mint mark 'M' (for Mexico City) visible in the field. A partial circular Latin legend surrounding the design reads HISPANIARVM:ET:INDIARVMREX+, proclaiming Philip III as King of Spain and the Indies. As is characteristic of this hammered macuquina series, the irregular flan results in portions of the legend being weak or off-flan. The overall execution reflects the hand-struck nature of colonial Spanish-American silver coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Felipe III inherited the Spanish throne in 1598 and almost immediately faced pressure on colonial silver output — the Potosí scandals of the early 1600s revealed systematic fraud in Peruvian mint assaying, casting suspicion on the broader cob coinage system across Spanish America. The Mexico City Mint, operating under stricter viceregal oversight than its South American counterparts, largely avoided the worst of that corruption, though its macuquina output remained irregular by design: these cobs were cut from silver bars and hammered to weight, never to aesthetic standards.
The 1618 reassay ordered by Viceroy Diego Fernández de Córdoba specifically targeted underweight 2 reales circulating in New Spain's domestic trade economy.
