Reverse description	Central design displays a bold Jerusalem cross with equal arms, dividing the field into four quadrants, each containing alternating castles and lions representing the kingdoms of Castile and León. Above the cross, a royal crown surmounts the composition, flanked by visible mint mark and assayer initial letters; the letter R (assayer) and what appears as a B or P initial are discernible beneath the crown. Partial fragments of the circumferential Latin legend HISPANIARVM REX are present along the irregular flan edge. The strike displays characteristic unevenness of hammered cob coinage, with the central cross and upper devices most sharply rendered. The reverse typology follows the standard macuquina format established for New Granada colonial silver issues under Philip IV.
