| Reverse description | The reverse retains the original design of the Spanish colonial 8 Reales host coin struck at the Potosí mint, featuring the quartered arms of Castile and León — castles and lions arranged in the four quadrants of a cross — surmounted by a crown, with the mintmark 'P' and assayer's initial visible in the field. Partial legends in Latin are present around the periphery of the irregular flan, though largely incomplete due to the cob striking method. The overall surface is heavily worn and shows the characteristic irregular edge of hammered macuquina coinage. |
