| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Ferdinand VII facing right, rendered in high relief in the neoclassical style, with a laurel wreath tied at the nape with a ribbon bow. The peripheral legend reads FERDIN • VII • D • G • HISP • ET IND • R •, divided by the portrait, with the date 1817 positioned in the lower exergual area beneath the bust. The field is smooth and unadorned, directing full attention to the finely detailed royal effigy. A toothed border runs along the entire circumference of the coin. |
