The king wears armored dress visible at the truncation, which is ornamented with scrollwork. The circular legend surrounds the effigy, with the date flanked by small floral ornaments positioned in the lower field beneath the bust. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 4 escudos of Felipe V from Mexico City fall within the transition period between cob coinage and the milled "columnario" series — a reform driven not by aesthetics but by rampant fraud. Clipped cobs had become so debased and irregular in practice that colonial commerce and European trade partners were demanding a more accountable product. The Mexico City mint began full milled production in 1732, making these among the earliest machine-struck gold pieces from the Western Hemisphere.
Felipe V himself never saw the New World mint that bore his name. He died in 1746, one year before this type ceased production.
