| Reverse description | The crowned Royal Arms of Spain occupy the central field, displaying the quartered shield with the castles of Castile and lions of León, with the Bourbon fleur-de-lis escutcheon at the centre point. The shield is flanked on either side by the Pillars of Hercules, each surmounted by a crown, representing the Strait of Gibraltar. The assayer initial 'S' appears to the left of the shield and the mint mark 'P' for Potosí is visible at upper left alongside the denomination mark '8R'. The circumferential legend reads HISPAN ET IND REX, with the value designation · B · 8R · P · appearing in the left field. |
