| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cob-style (macuquina) obverse displaying the crowned royal monogram of Felipe V at center, flanked by the assayer initial R and the mint mark Mo (Mexico City) to the right. A bold cross divides the field, with the denomination numeral 2 visible within the design. The irregular flan, characteristic of cob coinage, shows the partial strike typical of colonial milled cob issues. The legend PHILIPVS V DEI G, affirming the king's title by divine grace, appears partially around the periphery in Roman capitals. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cob-style reverse bearing the crowned arms of Castile and León rendered in the characteristic macuquina fashion, with the quartered castle and lion design visible within a roughly circular shield. The irregular planchet edges are typical of hand-struck colonial cob coinage produced at the Mexico City Mint. The legend HISPANIARVM ET INDIARVM REX, proclaiming the king as ruler of the Spains and the Indies, runs partially around the periphery in Latin capitals, though much of it falls off the flan due to the cob striking method. |

The 1730 date places this cob-style striking in the final years of macuquina production at Mexico City. Felipe V had ordered the transition to milled coinage as early as 1728, when the new round, mechanically struck coins began emerging from the same mint — meaning this piece was struck in deliberate parallel with its modernized successor, not as a holdover of neglect but of overlapping monetary policy during a slow phaseout that would not fully conclude until 1734.
Cobs of this late transitional window tend to show cleaner strikes than earlier macuquina, as mint discipline tightened under reform pressure.
