| Obverse description | Crowned quartered shield of the Spanish royal arms, displaying castles and lions in alternating quarters, struck on an irregular cob flan characteristic of macuquina coinage. The central charge is flanked by partial legends in the field, with the denomination mark and assayer initial partially visible at the periphery. The overall design reflects the standard Potosí cob type of the mid-18th century, with the strike quality and flan shape typical of hand-hammered silver production. Portions of the surrounding tressure and crown are visible where the flan permits. |
