4 Maravedis - Carlos I

Obverse description	Central crowned Gothic 'K' monogram for Karolus (Charles I) surmounted by an ornate crown, flanked by a castle to the left and a lion to the right within a beaded inner circle. The assayer mark 'oMo' appears below the monogram alongside a pomegranate and a quatrefoil, symbols associated with the Mexico City mint during its earliest period of operation. A circular Latin legend runs within the outer border of the flan, partially legible due to the irregular hammered flan. The overall design reflects the earliest coinage tradition established at the New World's first mint.

Reverse description	Central crowned Gothic 'I' monogram for Iohanna (Joanna), surmounted by an ornate crown and flanked by a castle to the left and a lion to the right, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The numeral '4' appears below the crowned monogram, denoting the denomination, with quatrefoils positioned before and after it. A circular Latin legend runs along the outer border of the irregularly shaped flan. The design mirrors the paired obverse typology, jointly attributing the coinage to the co-regents Charles I and Joanna of Castile.
