| Obverse description | Crowned quartered royal arms of Castile and León within an ornate shield, displaying alternating castles and lions in the four quadrants. The crowned escutcheon is set centrally in the field, flanked by the Pillars of Hercules on either side, representing the Spanish colonial device. The irregular flan, characteristic of cob-style (macuquina) coinage, results in a partially visible surrounding legend. The design reflects the standard cob gold coinage of the Nueva Granada mint under Felipe V. |
