| Additional information |
Felipe V ascended the Spanish throne in 1700 as the first Bourbon king, triggering the War of the Spanish Succession almost immediately — a conflict that ran until 1714 and disrupted colonial silver and gold flows considerably. The Seville mint, drawing on American gold arriving through Cádiz, continued striking throughout the war years, though output was erratic and die quality suffered under the financial strain of sustaining campaigns on multiple fronts.
The "4 in reverse" designation refers to an inverted numeral on the denomination mark — a known die anomaly within this type, not a later alteration.
