| Obverse description | Cob-style hammered design featuring the Pillars of Hercules flanking the legend PLUS ULTRA, the traditional Spanish colonial motto meaning 'Further Beyond,' distributed across the field in multiple sections. The inscription reads from the upper left, proceeding left, center, right, and upper right around the pillars. The denomination '4' appears prominently within the field, along with the assayer initials and partial date. The irregular flan is characteristic of macuquina (cob) coinage produced in the Central American mints of this period. |

| Reverse description | Cob-style hammered cross quartering the field into four sections, alternating castles (representing Castile) and lions (representing León) in the traditional Spanish colonial heraldic arrangement. The denomination '4' appears at the top of the cross, the assayer initials 'P' and 'Y' flank the horizontal arms, and the partial date '24' is visible at the bottom. The positioning and orientation of the lions and castles vary by variety: lions face left on KM#16.1, while the lions face right and castles are reversed on KM#16.2, with KM#16.3 presenting lions facing left with castles reversed. |
