| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design features a plain cross dividing the field into four quarters, each enclosed within a lobed quadrilobe frame, with castles of Castile in the upper-left and lower-right quarters and rampant lions of León in the upper-right and lower-left quarters, all rendered in high relief. The circumferential legend HISPANIARUM REX arcs around the lower portion of the coin, while the date 1758 is prominently placed in the upper field, flanked by small rosette stops. The entire design is enclosed within a finely milled outer border consistent with the Madrid Mint's milled coinage standard. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fernando VI ruled for just thirteen years and died without an heir in 1759, ending his line and passing the crown to his half-brother Carlos III. His reign was deliberately non-expansionist — Spain avoided the Seven Years' War entirely, a rare exercise of neutrality that kept colonial silver flowing through the mints rather than funding military campaigns. The 2 Reales of this period consequently circulated widely across Atlantic trade routes, appearing in North American colonial hoards with regularity.
The Madrid mint's output under Fernando was constrained by ongoing assayer transitions, and Cal#482 specimens show variation in die workmanship consistent with that instability.
