| Reverse description | Two crowned Pillars of Hercules, representing the Strait of Gibraltar, flank a central field bearing a stacked monogram or legend reading PLVS VLTRA in abbreviated form distributed across the design, with the mint mark NR and assayer initials FM visible within or adjacent to the central motif. Stylized waves appear at the base of the pillars, symbolizing the Atlantic Ocean. The surrounding Latin legend HISPANIARVM REX PLVS VLTRA NR FM is partially legible around the irregular flan perimeter. The composition is rendered in the crude but distinctive macuquina hammered style characteristic of Spanish colonial cob coinage. |
