| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered royal arms of Spain surmounted by the royal crown, the shield bearing castles of Castile and lions of León in alternate quarters with the fleur-de-lis of the House of Bourbon at the centre, all rendered in high relief. The mint mark 'Mo' (Mexico City) and assayer initials 'MF' appear to the left of the shield, with the denomination numeral '8' to the right. The peripheral legend in Latin reads FERND·VI·D·G·HISPAN·ET IND·REX, identifying Fernando VI as King of Spain and the Indies by the Grace of God. Decorative rosette stops punctuate the legend at regular intervals. The coin exhibits the distinctive pillar-and-waves type obverse design characteristic of the milled 'columnario' coinage of the Mexico City Mint. |
