| Reverse description | The reverse retains the design of the host coin as originally struck at the Mexico City Mint, depicting the crowned and draped bust of King Fernando VII facing right, rendered in the portrait style characteristic of the early nineteenth-century Mexican milled coinage. The surrounding circular legend, partially obscured by wear and the countermarking process, reads 'FERDIN VII DEI GRATIA' with the regnal title. The exergue and field bear the mint mark, assayer initials, and date of the original host coin, though these elements may be partially effaced depending on the specific host piece selected for countermarking. |
