| 背面描述 | Bold plain cross dividing the field into four quarters, each containing alternating castles and lions representing the arms of Castile and León, enclosed within a four-lobed (quatrefoil) or octolobe decorative frame. The design is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered cob-style coinage, with the partial legend distributed around the periphery. The cross and shield quartering are characteristic of the macuquina coinage produced under Philip II at the Seville mint. |

The Seville mint was the first in Spain authorized to strike the eight reales denomination, and during Felipe II's reign it processed enormous quantities of silver arriving from the Americas via the Casa de Contratación, which operated just blocks away. These coins moved through the Atlantic economy as the closest thing the sixteenth century had to a global reserve currency, accepted from Antwerp to Manila without being weighed or questioned.
Seville's assayer marks shifted across this production window — critical for pinpointing specific years within the broad 1566–1599 range. The assayer "D" for Francisco de DEça and "H" for Francisco de Herrera are the most commonly encountered, though transition pieces exist where both marks appear.
