| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Charles IV of Spain facing right, rendered in the neoclassical style typical of late 18th-century Spanish colonial coinage. The circumferential legend reads CAROLUS IIII DEI GRATIA, with the date 1793 positioned in the lower exergual area flanked by small pellets. A rectangular incuse countermark bearing the monogram CBCo. (for Carron Company) is applied to the right field, adjacent to the king's neck, authenticating the piece for circulation as a British emergency five-shilling token. The field is framed by a fine toothed border. |
