| Reverse description | The central device presents the Pillars of Hercules design, depicting two crowned classical columns rising from stylized ocean waves, each column encircled by a ribbon scroll inscribed PLUS and VLTR respectively, flanking a pair of hemispheric globes surmounted by a royal crown, symbolizing the Spanish dominions in both the Old and New Worlds. The circumferential legend VTRA·QVE·VNVM encircles the upper field in bold Latin capitals, punctuated by rosette ornaments. The date 1769 appears in the lower exergue in large Arabic numerals. The milled border of uniform reeding frames the entire design. |
