| Obverse description | Royal coat of arms of Felipe V at center, quartered within a plain cross displayed on a quatrefoil shield, with the castles of Castile and lions of León in the quarters. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by a circular Latin legend reading PHILIPVS V DEI G along the periphery, with date and assayer initial in the field. This type, known as a macuquina de presentación or royal presentation piece, was struck on specially prepared round planchets with well-centered dies to demonstrate the quality of mint production to the Viceroy or the Crown. The mintmark M or Mo for Mexico City appears in the legend. |
