| Reverse description | Quartered cross with a quadrilobe (cusped) border dividing the field into four segments, each containing alternating castles of Castile and lions of León in high relief. The date 1737 appears prominently in the upper field above the cross, flanked by small rosette ornaments. The circular Latin legend HISPANIARUM REX runs around the periphery, separated from the central device by a beaded border, with additional rosette stops punctuating the inscription. |

| Additional information |
Felipe V reclaimed the Spanish throne in 1724 after his brief abdication in favor of his son Luis I, who died of smallpox after just seven months. The second reign required rebuilding monetary credibility, and the Seville mint — one of the oldest and most active in Castile — was central to that effort. Seville's assayers during this period were notorious for inconsistent silver fineness, and Cal#1731 pieces frequently show slight weight adjustment marks from post-minting correction.
