| Reverse description | Central device composed of an elaborate crowned cross pattée within the interlaced arches of the Jerusalem cross, with a fleur-de-lis ornament in each of the four angles formed by the arms of the cross. The whole is enclosed within two concentric C-shaped curves forming the distinctive 'lion and castle' escutcheon arrangement characteristic of the Spanish colonial milled gold coinage. A continuous circular legend surrounds the design between beaded borders, reading HISPANIARVM ET YNDIARVM REX with a cross stop, all rendered in bold Roman capitals. The field is deeply struck and well-defined, reflecting the quality of early eighteenth-century Mexico City Mint milled production. |
