| Reverse description | The central field bears the fractional denomination expressed as '1/4' in large, boldly struck numerals separated by a horizontal bar, indicating one quarter of a Real. The figures are large relative to the coin's diameter and are the sole design element in the field, with no surrounding legend or additional devices. A dentilated border frames the entire reverse, matching the obverse treatment. The plain, utilitarian design reflects the emergency circumstances under which this piece was produced. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck coinage of the period. |
