| Obverse description | Irregular cob flan bearing the host coin's crowned quartered shield of Castile and León at center, with the denomination numeral '8' and assayer letters partially visible to the right within the field. A small circular sunburst or radiate wheel counterstamp, applied by Guatemalan authorities in 1839, is struck into the left field, serving as the official validation mark authenticating the coin for continued circulation. The overall surface is characteristically rough and uneven, consistent with hammered cob coinage produced at a Spanish colonial mint. |
