| Obverse description | Central crowned royal coat of arms of Castile and León, displayed in the field. The mintmark of Mexico City — a gothic capital M surmounted by a small rondel and flanked by rondels at each side — appears adjacent to the shield. A partial legend in Latin runs along the coin's periphery, rendered in Gothic lettering. The overall style is characteristic of early colonial hammered coinage, with irregular flan and somewhat crude die workmanship typical of the first Mexico City mint issues. |
