| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays the bold cross potent with lions and castles in the quadrants, the characteristic design of colonial Spanish-American cob coinage struck at the Mexico City mint. The cross is deeply struck and partially visible owing to the irregular shape of the flan. To the left, the mint mark 'M' (Mexico) and assayer initial (G or L depending on date) are partially legible. The wavy lines of the sea, a common background element on cob reverses, appear to the right of the cross. A circular hole is visible at the upper right, consistent with the same perforation noted on the obverse. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Carlos II, the last Habsburg king of Spain, ruled under severe physical and cognitive disabilities that left real power fragmented among regents and court factions for much of his reign. The Mexico City mint continued striking macuquina — cob coinage — throughout this period, and these pieces circulated globally as the dominant trade coin of the late 17th century, from Manila to Amsterdam to Boston.
The assayer's initial on each piece is the critical identifier for die students: the Mexico mint cycled through several assayers between 1667 and 1701, and attribution to a specific assayer can dramatically affect rarity. The L assayer issues are notably scarcer than those of his successors.
