| Obverse description | Draped laureate bust of King Charles III facing right, rendered in the portrait style introduced with the milled coinage reform of 1772, with the king's hair tied in a queue and wearing a laurel wreath. The circular legend reads CAROLUS • III • DEI • GRATIA • surrounding the effigy, with the mint date appearing in the lower field below the truncation. The coin's broad milled border frames the design with a fine dentilated rim characteristic of Lima Mint production. |
