| Obverse description | Crowned royal arms of Spain at center, displaying the quartered escutcheon with castles and lions, struck in the characteristic irregular cob (macuquina) style. The mint mark, assayer initial, and denomination numeral '2' appear in the field, partially visible depending on flan shape. The date is struck around the periphery alongside the partial royal legend, though full legibility is rarely achieved on cob coinage. The overall design reflects the colonial Spanish monetary tradition of the Mexico City mint under Felipe V. |
