| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Ferdinand VII facing right, rendered in high relief against a flat field. The monarch's hair is bound with a classical laurel wreath, and the truncation of the bust is visible at the lower center. The circumferential legend reads FERDN VII DEI GRATIA, separated by small dots, with the mint date appearing at the base of the bust below the truncation. The portrait follows the standard bust type adopted for Spanish colonial milled coinage, executed in the neoclassical style characteristic of early 19th-century Potosí Mint production. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or milled border. |
