| Obverse description | Central Jerusalem cross with flared arms divides the field into four quarters, each bearing alternating castles and lions in high relief, characteristic of the Spanish colonial macuqui (cob) coinage style. The partial circular legend reading PHILIPVS V D G HISPANA surrounds the cross, though the irregular flan edges of this cob-struck piece render portions of the inscription incomplete. The date, partially visible at the base of the cross, is struck in the lower field. The overall design follows the standard crusader-cross type mandated for Spanish colonial eight-real pieces of Philip V. |
