| Reverse description | Two crowned Pillars of Hercules rising from stylized ocean waves, each column surmounted by a crown, with the motto PLVS VLTRA (meaning 'Further Beyond') displayed on banderoles or scrolls between and around the columns. The mintmark (P), denomination (4), and assayer's initial (Y) appear alongside the date (726), with elements distributed across the field in the characteristic arrangement of early eighteenth-century Spanish colonial cob coinage. The design is partially struck, as typical of hammered macuquina pieces, with the irregular flan resulting in incomplete legends. |
