| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Ferdinand VII facing right, the king wearing a laurel wreath tied with a ribbon at the nape, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The portrait is executed in the neoclassical style typical of Spanish colonial gold coinage of the period. The circular legend reading FERDIN•VII•D•G•HISP•ET IND•R surrounds the effigy, with the date 1821 placed in the exergue below the truncation. The coin features a toothed border running along the full circumference. |
