| Obverse description | Draped bust of Ferdinand VII facing right, rendered in the imaginary portrait style typical of the early colonial milled coinage, as the engravers had no direct likeness of the king. The king's hair is bound and falls to the shoulder, with fine detail in the drapery of the military costume. The date appears in the lower exergue area below the bust. The encircling legend reads FERDIN. VII. DEI. GRATIA., interrupted by the portrait, with a beaded border surrounding the entire design. |
