| Obverse description | Armored bust of Ferdinand VI facing right, wearing a cuirass with ornate detailing and a lace cravat visible at the neck, his hair rendered in loose curls falling to the shoulder in the fashion of the period. The royal effigy is boldly modeled in high relief, characteristic of the early milled coinage of Madrid. The circumferential legend reads FERDINANDUS VI D G HISP REX, interrupted at the base of the truncation by the date 1750 flanked by small rosette ornaments. The entire design is bordered by a finely executed toothed or beaded rim. |
