| Reverse description | The large numeral 4 dominates the central field in bold raised relief, with the inscription CENTAVOS arched along the lower exergue. The issuer's abbreviated legend C.M.G. is distributed around the upper field, with C to the left, M above, and G to the right of the numeral. A distinctive eight-pointed star, outlined in green glaze, appears in the left field as the variety-identifying mark referenced in the mintage note. The plain white porcelain surface provides a stark contrast to the green-painted star detail. |
