| Obverse description | Typical cob (macuquina) style obverse displaying the crowned royal arms of Castile and León within a tressure, with the castle of Castile and the lion of León alternating in the four quarters. The date appears prominently in the upper field, with the assayer initial and mint mark visible in the central field. The irregular flan and characteristic rough edges are consistent with hand-struck cob coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Bold Jerusalem cross occupying the central field, formed by a floriated cross pattée with elaborate decorative terminals and a quadrilobe inner border. The four quarters display alternating castles and lions in relief, consistent with the Royal Arms of Spain. The surrounding legend, partially visible due to the irregular cob flan, encircles the cross in Latin script; the overall design reflects the standard macuquina die style employed at the Mexico City Mint under Felipe V. |
