| Obverse description | The obverse displays the original design of the Argentine 8 Soles host coin, featuring a radiant sun with alternating straight and wavy rays emanating from a central disc. Superimposed at the center of the sun is the Spanish Philippine countermark: a small crowned oval punch bearing the crowned cypher 'F.7.o' (Ferdinandus VII), applied by the colonial Philippine authorities to validate the coin for local circulation. The circular legend PROVINCIAS DEL RIO DE LA PLATA runs along the periphery in raised Latin characters, referencing the issuing authority of the host coin. |
