| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned quartered arms of Spain occupy the central field, displaying the castles of Castile and lions of León in the principal quarters, with Granada in base and the French fleur-de-lis in the center escutcheon. The shield is flanked by elaborate floral and chain festoons, with the denomination numeral 8 to the left and the Santiago mint mark So to the right. The assayers' initials FJ appear at the base, flanking a small pomegranate device. The circumferential legend IN UTROQ FELIX AUSPICE DEO runs around the periphery, all within a toothed border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carlos IV ascended the Spanish throne in 1788 but continued authorizing coinage bearing his father's portrait well into his own reign — a deliberate political choice to project continuity during an increasingly unstable period for the Bourbon monarchy. The Santiago mint struck this type across nearly two decades, spanning the French Revolution, the Napoleonic invasion of Spain, and the early tremors of colonial independence movements that would eventually dissolve the empire itself.
The prolonged use of Carlos III's likeness on Carlos IV coinage has made precise date attribution essential for collectors, as the series spans multiple assayers at Santiago.
