| Reverse description | The obverse (cross side) of this cob coinage features a large Jerusalem cross with ornate terminals dividing the field into four quadrants, each containing letters and numerals identifying the issuing authority and denomination. The denomination numeral '8' appears prominently above the Roman numeral 'V' (for Felipe V) at the center, flanked by the Lima mint mark 'L' and assayer's initial. Partial date digits are visible in the lower quadrants, while the upper portion bears a fleur-de-lis finial above the cross. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, with a partial royal legend around the periphery, typically incomplete due to the irregular cob flan. |
