| Obverse description | Quarter-circle segment cut from a Spanish colonial silver coin, retaining a partial effigy and design elements of the host coin in the field. Two applied countermarks are present: countermark C4, an oval punch enclosing the numeral '21' denoting the revalidated value in stuivers, struck in the left portion of the segment; and countermark C5, a five-petaled flower with dots between the petals, applied as a second authentication mark. The arc edge displays the remnants of the host coin's reeded border, while the cut edges are irregular. |
