| Obverse description | Within a raised inner circle, the denomination numeral '1' appears above the word 'QUARTO' in bold relief, with a small six-pointed star ornament below. The circular field between the inner ring and the milled border carries the legend '·EN BARCELONA·' in the upper arc, with the date '·1808·' flanked by pellets in the lower arc. The overall design is purely typographic, devoid of portraiture, conveying place of issue and value with stark clarity characteristic of emergency Peninsular War coinage. |
