| Reverse description | Two crowned Pillars of Hercules rising from stylized waves at the base, with the motto PLVS VLTRA divided between the columns on a scroll or banner. The mint mark NR (Nuevo Reino, Santa Fe de Bogotá) and the assayer's initials appear in the field between or adjacent to the pillars, along with the date. The surrounding partial legend in Latin identifies the king as ruler of the Spains and the Indies. The reverse conforms to the standard macuña pillar-and-waves design mandated for all colonial 8 reales cobs of the period. |
