The assayer initials 'JR' appear to the left of the shield, and the denomination numeral '8' to the right, each flanked by small rosette ornaments. The entire design is surmounted by an elaborate royal crown with ornate scrollwork. The circular legend reads CAROLUS III · D · G · HISPAN · ET IND · REX, separated by rosette stops, running around the full periphery of the obverse. |
