| Obverse description | Central crowned quartered shield of the Spanish royal arms, displaying castles and lions in the traditional Castile-León arrangement, surrounded by a partial circular legend in the field. The shield is surmounted by the royal crown. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan shape typical of early 18th-century Spanish cob (macuquina) coinage, with portions of the legend visible around the periphery. Mint mark and assayer initial appear to the left of the shield. |
