| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

Fernando VI's brief reign produced relatively few cob-style reales before the Mexico City mint transitioned toward the milled coinage mandated by Philip V's 1728 reforms — reforms his successor inherited but only fully implemented across all denominations over the following decade. The 4 reales denomination occupied an awkward middle position in colonial commerce: too small for large mercantile transactions, too valuable for everyday exchange, leaving many examples in hoards rather than pockets.
Mexico City's macuquina production was officially phased out by royal decree in 1732 for higher denominations, making any cob-style 4 reales from this period a late survival of a minting tradition stretching back to the sixteenth century.
