| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Fernando VI facing right, with long curled wig, occupying the central field. The date appears in the lower exergual area flanked by small rosette ornaments. The encircling Latin legend reads from lower left and continues around the upper periphery, separated from the bust by a plain inner field. The portrait is rendered in the Baroque style typical of Spanish colonial milled coinage of the mid-18th century, with fine detailing on the armor and lace cravat. |
