| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Carlos III facing right, rendered in high relief in the neoclassical portrait style introduced for Spanish colonial milled coinage. The circumferential legend CAROLUS III DEI GRATIA runs from the lower left, around the top of the field, to the lower right, interrupted by the date below the bust truncation. The coin is bordered by a finely milled rim with a continuous inner bead circle separating the legend from the field. |
