| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered royal arms of Castile and León, surmounted by a large ornate crown. The denomination numeral '8' appears to the left of the shield, with the assayer initial 'J' to the right. The encircling legend reads FERDINANDUS VI D G HISPAN ET IND REX, separated by rosette stops, identifying the issuing monarch Fernando VI of Spain. The shield is rendered in the characteristic colonial macuquina-transitional milled style, with bold, deeply struck relief typical of the Santiago mint's early milled coinage. |
