| Obverse description | The obverse of the host coin features a radiant Phrygian (Liberty) cap at center, emitting long tapering rays that fill the field, surrounded by a beaded border. Superimposed upon the cap is the Philippine countermark comprising a crowned 'F.7.o' (Ferdinandus Septimus) above the word LIBERTAD, applied by Philippine authorities to validate the coin for local circulation. The surrounding legend on the host coin records the mint mark, assayer initials, date, and fineness details distributed around the periphery. |
