| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold floriated cross potent with lions and castles alternating in the angles, forming the characteristic Jerusalem cross design used on Spanish colonial cob coinage. The cross is deeply struck and dominates the irregular flan, with portions of the surrounding circular legend and ornamentation visible at the margins. The design follows the standard macuquina type mandated for colonial mints under the Spanish Crown, with the boldly rendered cross arms terminating in trefoil ends. The overall strike is typical of the hand-hammered cob technique, resulting in an irregular planchet with design elements unevenly distributed across the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1729–1730 Mexico City 8 reales occupies an odd transitional moment: Felipe V had already abdicated in favor of his son Luis I in 1724, only to resume the throne seven months later following Luis's death from smallpox. By the time these coins were struck, the king was back in power but increasingly withdrawn, leaving much of governance to his second wife, Isabel de Farnesio. The Cal#758.var. designation signals a die variant outside the primary Calicó census — worth noting for specialists working the macuquina-to-milled transition series, as Mexico City's assayer changes during this window directly affect attribution.
