| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Carlos III facing right, rendered in the armored portrait style introduced for the bust coinage. The effigy displays elaborately dressed hair tied with a ribbon at the nape, with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The circular legend around the periphery reads CAROLUS III DEI GRATIA with the date below, all within a toothed or beaded border. The field exhibits the characteristic shallow relief of the Mexico City Mint's early bust coinage production. |
