| Reverse description | The Pillars of Hercules design, featuring two crowned columns rising from stylized waves, each wound with a banner inscribed PLUS and VLTR respectively, flanking two hemispheres of the globe surmounted by a large imperial crown. The circumferential legend reads VTRAQUE VNUM, with the mint mark 'LM' to the lower left and the date below between rosette stops. The reeded edge of the coin is visible, and the overall composition reflects the bold, classical engraving style characteristic of Lima Mint milled coinage of the period. |
