| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Carlos III facing right, rendered in high relief in the Baroque colonial style, with elaborately curled wig tied at the nape and ornate lace cravat visible at the truncation. The royal legend encircles the effigy along the periphery, reading from lower left to upper right, with the mint date appearing in the exergue below the bust. The coin features a prominent milled edge border framing the entire design. |
