| Obverse description | Crowned quartered shield of the Spanish Royal Arms, featuring castles and lions in alternating quarters, struck as a macuquina (cob) planchet with characteristic irregular flan edges. The cross potent with fleurs-de-lis occupies the central field, and the overall design is typical of the hammered coinage produced at the Potosí Mint for Ferdinand VI. The partial legend FERDINANDUS VI D G HISPAN ET IND REX arcs around the periphery in Latin characters, though much of it is typically off-flan due to the cob striking method. The relief is bold at center and tapers toward the ragged edges of the planchet. |
