| Obverse description | Host coin reverse of a Spanish Colonial 2 Reales (Potosí Mint, bust type), displaying the crowned Royal Arms of Spain within a shield, flanked by crowned pillars of Hercules, with the peripheral legend reading partially visible as •2R•P•R• and •SANHE•N•. Applied centrally over the shield is the El Salvador Type V countermark: a circular incuse punch depicting the arms of El Salvador — a triangle enclosing a landscape with five volcanoes and a rising sun — surrounded by a beaded border, validating the host coin for domestic circulation in 1868. |
