| Reverse description | The reverse of the host coin presents the crowned Spanish royal coat of arms, quartered with the castles of Castile and lions of León, flanked by the Pillars of Hercules with draped banners bearing the PLVS VLTRA motto. The circumferential legend reads HISPAN • ET IND • REX with the Zacatecas mint mark Zs, assayer initials A•G, and denomination 8R. A Philippine countermark — an oval cartouche surmounted by a crown with the cypher Y•II• — is prominently struck over the central shield, attesting to the coin's authorization for circulation in the Philippine Islands under Isabella II. |
