| Obverse description | Plain copper field bearing the single incuse word PRUEBA (Spanish for 'trial') struck horizontally across the centre of the disc. The field is otherwise entirely devoid of design elements, devices, or decorative motifs, serving solely as a trial die identification surface. The flat, unadorned character of this face confirms its status as the obverse of a reverse trial strike, where only the reverse die was employed. |
