| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold cross pattée set within a quatrefoil frame enclosed in a beaded inner circle, with the Segovia aqueduct mintmark and assayer initial Y appearing at either side of the quatrefoil. The date 1708 is incorporated into the peripheral legend. The outer legend HISPANIARVM REX runs around the circumference, separated by ornamental stops, all within a toothed rim consistent with the milled coinage standard of the period. |

Philip V's claim to the Spanish throne was still actively contested in 1708 — the War of the Spanish Succession was entering its most critical phase, with Archduke Charles of Austria holding Madrid briefly the previous year. Minting continued at Segovia under Philip's authority partly as a practical assertion of legitimacy; controlling the mints was as politically significant as controlling territory.
Segovia's aqueduct-fed water-powered mill made it Spain's most technically capable mint for heavy gold coinage. The macuquina-to-milled transition was already underway, and 1708 Segovia 8 escudos are struck on properly prepared planchets — a meaningful distinction from cob-style output still coming from American houses at the same date.
