Coin Weight - 8 Reales

Beschrijving voorzijde	Quartered shield bearing the arms of Spain, with castles in the first and fourth quarters representing Castile, and lions in the second and third quarters representing León, all contained within an irregular double octolobe border. The design closely imitates the heraldic device found on contemporary Spanish coinage of the Real series. The shield is rendered in low relief with engraved detail, characteristic of coin weight manufacture. The overall style reflects the standard royal arms used on Spanish silver coinage from the late 15th through early 19th centuries.
