| Reverse description | Crowned globes-and-cross design (the Jerusalem cross) with the two hemispheres flanking a bold upright cross, all surmounted by a royal crown, as characteristic of Spanish colonial macuquina coinage of this period. The legend surrounding the design, partially visible on the irregular flan, reads a fragment of HISPANIARVM REX. Ornate foliate elements appear in the quadrants between the arms of the cross. The rampant lion is partially discernible in one quadrant, and a castle motif in another, consistent with the standard Potosí reverse type of the mid-17th century. |
