| Reverse description | Central quartered shield of the Spanish royal arms, displaying castles and lions in alternating quarters, surmounted by a royal crown. Flanking the shield are the Pillars of Hercules, each wrapped with a banner. The lower portion of the field displays a second Brazilian countermark consisting of a crowned oval cartouche bearing the Portuguese royal arms on a globe, partially overlapping the original design. The peripheral legend reads HISPAN ET IND REX with Potosí mint mark PTS, assayer initials, and denomination 8R, all within a toothed border. |
