| Obverse description | The obverse of the host coin features a radiant sun with alternating straight and wavy rays emanating from a central disc, upon which the Philippine Isabella II countermark — a crowned 'YII' cipher surmounted by a royal crown — has been applied. The circular legend 'PROVINCIAS DEL RIO DE LA PLATA' runs along the outer border, separated from the design by a dentilated inner ring. The entire field is framed by a beaded border. The countermark was applied over the sun face of this Argentine host coin during the period 1834–1837 to validate its circulation in the Philippines. |
