| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of King Carlos IV facing right, rendered in high relief with curly hair and a ruffled cravat visible at the neck. The royal effigy occupies the majority of the coin's field, executed in the classical portrait style common to late 18th-century Spanish colonial coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading CAROL IV D G HISP ET IND R, proclaiming the king's titles as ruler of Spain and the Indies. The date 1789 appears in the lower exergue, flanked by small pellet stops. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |
