| Obverse description | The obverse displays the coat of arms of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata set within a wreath of laurel and oak branches tied at the base, the shield containing a crossed staff and pike topped with a Phrygian liberty cap over a rising sun motif. The denomination 8 and mintmaster initial F flank the wreath to left and right respectively, with the host date 1815 and assayer initial H appearing in the lower field. The circular legend EN UNION Y LIBERTAD runs along the periphery. Superimposed at center is the Philippine countermark, an incuse oval punch bearing a crowned royal cypher F.7.o, applied by Philippine authorities between 1832 and 1834 to validate the host coin for local circulation. |
