| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned quartered royal arms of Spain, displaying castles (Castile) and lions (León) in the principal quarters, with fleurs-de-lis (Bourbon) and additional heraldic charges, all surmounted by a large royal crown. The denomination numeral '4' appears to the right of the shield and the mint mark 'M' with assayer initials 'JF' to the left and right respectively. The circular legend reads PHILLIPUS V D G R, arranged around the shield, separated by small rosette ornaments. The overall design is executed in the milled pillar-and-arms style characteristic of Felipe V's second coinage type. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a quartered shield within a quatrefoil or scalloped border, bearing alternating castles (Castile) and rampant lions (León) in the four quarters, divided by a plain cross. The date 1737 appears prominently in the upper field above the shield. The surrounding circular legend HISPANIARUM REX is distributed around the shield, punctuated by small rosette stops. The reeded edge is visible at the coin's periphery, and the entire design reflects the elegant milled coinage reform of the early eighteenth-century Spanish mint. |
