| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold floriated cross pattée occupies the center of the field, dividing the design into four quarters, each containing alternating castles and lions from the arms of Castile and León, set within a quadrilobe of scrollwork and floral ornaments. The surrounding legend reads REX HISPANIARVM ET INDIARVM, separated by mullets, within a beaded border. The overall composition reflects the macuquina-to-milled transitional style characteristic of early eighteenth-century Mexican coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Felipe V inherited the Spanish throne in 1700 following the death of the childless Carlos II, triggering the War of the Spanish Succession that would drag on until 1714. Mexican milled coinage of this period funded Spanish military operations on both sides of the Atlantic, and the crown's appetite for silver from New Spain was insatiable. The Mexico City mint ran under considerable pressure throughout these years.
These early Felipe V macuquinas — cob-style flans hand-cut from silver bars — are notoriously irregular in shape and strike. Assayer marks from this window shift between R (Rhinoceros) periods, which is why KM catalogs this as R47 specifically rather than grouping it with later Felipe issues.
