| Obverse description | Host coin is a Spanish colonial 2 Reales struck at the Lima Mint. The obverse displays a right-facing laureate and draped bust of King Charles IV of Spain, with a ribbon bow visible at the nape of the neck. The surrounding legend reads CAROLUS · IV · DEI · GRATIA · with the date 1790 positioned in the lower exergual area. A prominent central hole has been punched through the coin as part of the Haitian countermarking process, partially obliterating the central field. The coin shows typical circulation wear consistent with its use as a host piece. |
