| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Ferdinand VII facing right, rendered in the neoclassical style, with the hair tied in a ribbon at the nape. The royal effigy occupies the central field, with the circumferential legend FERDIND • VII • DEI • GRATIA • reading from lower left to upper right. The date appears in the exergue at the base of the bust, flanked by pellets. The coin's milled border frames the design with a fine toothed rim. |
