| Obverse description | Central field displays a large heraldic shield bearing a rampant lion, flanked by saltire crosses arranged in a decorative pattern across the escutcheon. The shield is rendered in low relief in the crude, hand-worked style characteristic of Oaxacan provisional coinage. Above the shield, a rectangular cartouche contains the mint mark letter 'R'. The entire design is enclosed within a distinctive border of raised beads or pellets, a hallmark of the Oaxaca provisional series. The overall style reflects the emergency wartime production context of the insurgent mint. |

| Reverse description | Central cross motif divides the field into four quadrants, each containing a distinct symbol: a rampant lion in the upper left, a castle in the upper right, and abbreviated inscriptions in the lower quadrants, including 'F° 7°' (Ferdinandus VII) and 'ISI'. The surrounding circular legend reads 'OAXACA 1812 8 Rs. PROV. D.' with decorative floral or rosette stops separating the legend elements. The entire composition is enclosed within the same characteristic beaded border seen on the obverse, consistent with the hand-crafted aesthetic of the Oaxaca insurgent provisional coinage of the Mexican War of Independence. |
