| Reverse description | Central design features two crowned globes representing the Old and New Worlds, flanked by the crowned Pillars of Hercules, each bearing the PLUS VLTRA scroll, all resting on a wavy sea. The mint mark 'Mo' (Mexico City) appears to the lower left of the central device and the assayer's initial 'M' to the lower right, with the date '1746' along the bottom. The circumferential legend VTRA QUE VNUM, meaning 'Both as One,' runs along the upper portion of the coin in Latin characters separated by pellet stops. A beaded border frames the entire composition. The design is crisp and characteristic of the mid-eighteenth-century pillar coinage struck at the Mexico City Mint. |
