| Reverse description | Central field bears the quartered arms of Spain, featuring the castles of Castile and the lions of León arranged in the four quarters of a plain cross, characteristic of the macuquina coinage of the Mexico City mint. The design is boldly struck but irregularly distributed across the cob flan, with portions of the cross and shield arms visible. Mint mark, assayer initial, and denomination indicators are partially present at the field margins, consistent with the rough cob striking technique of this period. |
