| Reverse description | The reverse retains the design of the host Spanish colonial 8 Reales struck at Potosí, featuring the crowned Portuguese royal arms within a globe — the Brazilian counterstamp applied to this side — displayed over the hemispheres, flanked by the Pillars of Hercules with banderoles inscribed PLUS VLTRA. Below, the quartered Spanish royal shield bears the castles of Castile and lions of León. The surrounding legend of the host coin reads 8R P I HISPAN ET IND REX, referencing the denomination, mint mark, and royal title. The entire composition reflects the dual identity of this counterstamped issue, combining Spanish colonial engraving with the applied Portuguese-Brazilian royal authority. |
