| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold quartered cross whose arms frame the inscription 'PLVS VLTRA' arranged across the field, with mint and assayer marks 'L' and 'M' flanking the legend and the numerals '800' appearing in the lower portion, referencing the fineness or monetary valuation conventions of the host coin. The numeral '2' is prominently struck at the top of the field. The overall strike is crude and irregular, typical of this emergency siege coinage counterstamped over earlier Cartagena provisional issues of 1813–1814. |
