| Obverse lettering | SINE ME REGNA FATISC ·Mo·1769·Mo· (Translation: kingdoms crumble without me NOTE: Translation is a fantastic example of a pre-Independence movement feeling, as without the New Spain the Empire would collapse due to lack of richness and materials.) |
| Reverse description | The crowned Spanish royal coat of arms occupies the central field, flanked on either side by the denomination indication and fractional value (Go 1/2). A circular legend reading CAROLVS·III·INDIAR·REX surrounds the shield, identifying the issuing monarch as Charles III, King of the Indies. The crown surmounting the shield is rendered in the characteristic Bourbon style of the period. The design follows the standard colonial copper coinage compositional arrangement, consistent with a pattern issue of 1769. |
