| Reverse description | The reverse presents the Jerusalem cross — a large cross potent with a smaller cross in each quadrant — enclosed within a double tressure or ornamental border, consistent with the standard Potosí macuquina type of the period. The cross design, characteristic of the Spanish colonial cob series, occupies the majority of the irregularly shaped flan, with portions of the surrounding legend visible at the edges. The Latin legend records the royal title and the date of striking, identifying this as a product of the Potosí mint during the reign of Philip IV. The field surrounding the cross shows the typical granular texture and uneven relief resulting from the hammered cob production method. The overall design conforms closely to the established iconographic standard for mid-17th century Potosí silver coinage. |
