| Obverse description | The quartered arms of Castile and León occupy the central field, displaying alternating castles and rampant lions within a boldly struck cross patée, the whole enclosed within a beaded inner border. The mintmark of the Panama assayer appears to the left of the royal monogram, with the assayer's initial to the right. A partial Latin legend in Roman capitals runs along the periphery, though the irregular flan of this cob coinage results in portions of the inscription being off-flan. The overall design is characteristic of the macuquina (cob) style, with the die impression applied by hammer to a roughly cut silver planchet. |
