| Obverse description | Central field bears the quartered royal coat of arms of Castile and León, displaying castles and lions in alternating quarters with a small escutcheon of the French royal fleurs-de-lis at center, the whole surmounted by an ornate royal crown rendered in high relief. The assayer initial JV appears to the left of the shield and the denomination numeral 8 to the right, each flanked by small rosette ornaments. The circular Latin legend reads FERDND·VI·D·G·HISPAN·ET IND·REX, identifying Fernando VI as King of Spain and the Indies by the Grace of God. The coin exhibits the characteristic milled collar strike of the Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint's columnario series, with a well-defined reeded border. |
