Reverse description Pillars of Hercules design flanking a crowned royal shield of Castile and León, divided into four quadrants by a bold cross. The upper-left and lower-right quadrants bear a turreted castle, while the upper-right and lower-left quadrants display a rampant lion. Wavy lines representing the sea appear at the base of the pillars, with partial legend visible along the border. The denomination numeral IV is partially discernible to the right of the cross, consistent with Potosí 4 Reales cob typology of the Philip III period.
