| Reverse description | Irregular cob flan displaying the standard Spanish colonial cross design at center, with the four quadrants formed by the arms of the cross each containing the castles and lions of the royal arms of Castile and León in raised relief. The design is typically off-center and partially struck, as is characteristic of macuquina or cob coinage, with portions of the surrounding legend lost to the irregular planchet edge. The flat, worn fields surrounding the cross bear the natural flow lines and surface irregularities inherent to the hammered cob minting process. |
