2 Reales - Felipe V

Obverse description	Central Jerusalem cross with floriate arms, dividing the field into four quarters, each containing alternating castles and rampant lions in the heraldic tradition of the Spanish Crown. The design is characteristic of the macuquina (cob) coinage produced at Lima, with irregular flan edges and varying strike quality typical of hand-hammered silver pieces. Partial circular legend surrounds the quartered shield, though incompletely struck as is common for this issue. The overall composition reflects the standard Hapsburg-to-Bourbon transitional coinage of early eighteenth-century Spanish colonial mints.

Reverse description	Two crowned globes flanked by the Pillars of Hercules, representing the Old and New Worlds, with the motto on a banner. The denomination numeral '2' appears prominently above the central design, with the assayer's initial and date visible in the field, struck in the characteristic rough and irregular style of Lima cob coinage. The mint mark 'L' for Lima is present to the left of the pillars. Partial legend surrounds the design, incompletely rendered due to the irregular flan and hand-hammered striking technique.
