| Obverse description | Draped bust of Queen Isabel II facing right, her hair elaborately dressed in curls and adorned at the back, rendered in low relief. The denomination '8' appears to the left of the bust and 'M.' to the right, both in the field. A circular legend runs around the periphery, and the date appears in the exergue below the truncation. The portrait reflects the neoclassical style typical of early-reign Spanish copper coinage. |

A circular legend surrounds the entire device, with the mintmark positioned at the bottom of the coin between the letters R and S of the legend where applicable. |
