| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered arms of Castile and León within an ornate shield, divided by a plain cross into four quadrants bearing alternating castles and lions in the traditional Castilian heraldic arrangement. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown and enclosed within a tressure or inner border. Due to the irregular cob (macuquina) flan, peripheral legends and additional design elements are only partially visible. The overall strike is characteristic of the hammered cob coinage produced at Potosí, exhibiting the typical irregular outline and variable surface relief of the type. |
