| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Pillars of Hercules design, central to the Spanish colonial milled coinage known as the 'columnario' type. Two crowned Pillars of Hercules flank a central device consisting of two crowned hemispheres representing the Old and New Worlds, borne upon waves and encircled by a scroll or banner. The mint mark Mo and assayer's initial M appear flanking the central device, with the date 1747 inscribed in the lower field. The peripheral legend VTRA QUE VNUM, meaning 'Both as One,' encircles the design, punctuated by small ornaments. |
