Beschrijving voorzijde The obverse displays the quartered arms of Castile and León within an ornate shield, divided by a bold cross with castles (Castile) and lions (León) in alternating quarters. A circular Guatemalan Type II countermark, struck in intaglio with a radiate sun design, is applied to the right field of the host cob coin. The partial Latin legend HISPAR... is visible along the upper periphery within a beaded border, characteristic of Spanish colonial macuquina (cob) coinage. The irregular, flan shape and rough surfaces are consistent with hammered cob production, with the countermark punched to authenticate or revalue the coin for circulation in Guatemala circa 1839.

Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse presents the quartered royal arms of Spain within an elaborately ornamented shield surmounted by a crown, as used on Spanish colonial cob coinage. The quarters display castles and lions for Castile and León, with the Granada pomegranate at the base and the fleurs-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty in the central escutcheon. A mintmark and assayer's initial (partially visible) appear to the left of the shield, while the denomination numeral is partially discernible in the field. The surrounding beaded border and fragmentary Latin legend are typical of the macuquina coinage style produced at Spanish colonial mints during the 17th and 18th centuries.
