| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned quartered coat of arms of Spain, displaying castles and lions in the four quarters, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is flanked on either side by decorative elements, with the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece suspended below. A circular beaded inner border frames the design, with the legend running along the outer periphery. The die appears oriented in medal alignment, faithfully reproducing the style of late 17th-century Spanish colonial macuquina coinage. |

| Reverse description | A patriarchal cross of Jerusalem dominates the upper field, flanked by the denomination mark '8' to the right and the assayer initial 'R' to the left. Below the cross, a large interlaced 'MA' monogram — referencing the shipwreck galleon 'Maria' — occupies the central field, rendered in the style of Spanish colonial cob coinage. To the lower right, a crowned 'M' mintmark with the date '2002' identifies this piece as a modern replica. The outer legend is separated from the inner beaded circle, and the date '1691' appears at the base, referencing the original coin's date. |
