| Reverse description | Two crowned hemispheres displayed between the Pillars of Hercules, each pillar surmounted by a crown, with the date appearing at the bottom of the field. A partial Latin legend surrounds the design, characteristic of the macuquin cob format struck at the Nueva Guatemala mint during the reign of Fernando VI. The irregular flan shape and partial strike are consistent with hand-hammered cob production, with the central globe device showing the strongest relief. The reverse follows the standard colonial Spanish 'Tipo Macuquino' design mandated for the New World mints. |
