| Obverse description | Central field displays the royal arms of Castile and León: a quartered shield bearing alternating castles and lions, with a central escutcheon, surmounted by an ornate royal crown. Flanking the shield are the two Pillars of Hercules, each topped by a crown and draped with scrolling banners inscribed PLUS and VLTRA. The peripheral legend reads *FERNANDO *VII *REY *DE *ESPAÑA *Y *DE *LAS *INDIAS, separated by six-pointed star stops, running along the milled border. The design follows the standard royal arms type employed on New Spain colonial coinage of the period. |
