| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Pillars of Hercules design, showing two crowned globes representing the Old and New Worlds, flanked by two crowned columns entwined with scrolling banners. The columns rest upon a stylized waves exergue, representing the Atlantic Ocean. The date 1747 appears in the lower exergue in large numerals. The encircling legend UTRAQUE UNUM ('Both as One') runs along the upper periphery in capital Latin letters with star stops, and the mint mark 'Mo' appears to the lower right of the design. The overall composition reflects the celebrated 'milled pillar' (macuquina a molino) coinage type introduced under Philip V and continued under Ferdinand VI. |
