| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned quartered arms of Spain occupy the central field, displaying the castles of Castile, the lions of León, the pales of Aragon, the chains of Navarre, the pomegranate of Granada, and the fleur-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty in the inescutcheon, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is flanked by the denomination numeral 8 to the left and the assayer initial S to the right. The entire central device is encircled by an ornate laurel-and-floral wreath. The peripheral legend IN · UTROQ · FELIX · AUSPICE · DEO reads around the upper field, while the mint mark M and assayer initials GJ appear at the base below the wreath. The coin is bordered by a fine toothed milling. |

These pieces were struck at a handful of colonial mints — most notably Santiago, Lima, and México — during a period when Fernando VII had been restored to the Spanish throne following Napoleon's forced abdication of his brother José. The king's return in 1814 immediately reversed the liberal Constitution of Cádiz, and the American mints continued producing at erratic rates as independence movements were actively disrupting supply lines, labor, and bullion flows across the colonies.
Assayer letters matter enormously here. Output varied wildly by mint and year, with some Santiago dates among the scarcest in the entire Fernando VII gold series.
