| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Carlos III facing right, rendered in the portrait style introduced at the Mexico City Mint for the milled coinage. The peripheral legend CAROLUS·III·DEI·GRATIA reads clockwise around the effigy, interrupted at the base by the date 1779 in the lower field. A small incuse star-shaped countermark, applied by the Sultanate of Sumenep (Madura), is struck into the right field of the coin, partially overlapping the king's chest. The coin exhibits a beaded inner border throughout. |
