| Aversbeschreibung | Armored and draped bust of King Fernando VI facing right, wearing an elaborate large curled wig in the Baroque style, with ornate lace cravat and jeweled armor visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in high relief and occupies the majority of the field. The peripheral legend reads FERDND•VI•D•G•HISPAN•ET IND•REX, and the date 1747 appears in the lower exergual area flanked by small floral rosettes. |

Fernando VI's reign saw the Mexico City mint operating under the old macuquina (cob) tradition even as Madrid pushed hard for the milled coinage reforms that would fully take hold by 1732 in Lima and 1734 in Mexico City. By 1747, Mexico was striking both types simultaneously — the milled "columnario" eight escudos alongside diminishing cob production — as the Crown sought to withdraw the irregular coinage from circulation entirely. The colonial treasury under Viceroy Fuenclara was under explicit royal pressure to accelerate that transition.
KM#149 is the milled type. Mexico City's assayer mark for this period places this piece squarely within the MF assayer pairing — Manuel de León and Feliciano Flores — whose combined tenure ran through the mid-1740s.
