| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned royal arms shield of Castile and León, rendered in high relief beneath an elaborate Baroque crown. The mintmark and assayer's initial (J) are positioned to the left of the shield, with the denomination numeral VIII to the right. A partial circumferential legend in Latin runs along the upper periphery of the irregular macuquina flan, reading FERDINANDVS VI DEI G, though characteristically truncated by the cob's uneven edges. The strike, inherent to hammered macuquina coinage, is off-center and irregular, with peripheral devices and portions of the legend frequently lost to the flan's limitations. |
