| Obverse description | Armored bust of King Fernando VI facing right, wearing a cuirass and lace cravat, with elaborately curled wig cascading over the shoulder, rendered in the Baroque colonial style. The king's effigy is boldly modeled and dominates the coin's field. A toothed border encircles the entire design. The peripheral legend reads FERDIN·VI·D·G·HISPAN·ET·IND·REX, with the date 1758 appearing in the lower exergual area beneath the bust. |
