| Reverse description | Central device depicts two crowned hemispheres set upon ocean waves, representing the Old and New Worlds united under the Spanish Crown, flanked by the two crowned Pillars of Hercules — the ancient boundary columns at the Strait of Gibraltar — each entwined with a scroll bearing the motto PLUS VLTR (Plus Ultra, 'Further Beyond'). The mint mark 'Mo' (Mexico City) appears on both sides of the legend. The date 1739 is inscribed in the lower exergue. The surrounding Latin legend VTRAQUE VNUM ('Both as One') encircles the design, separated by floral ornaments, with the milled dentilation border running the full perimeter. |
