| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Carlos IV facing right, rendered in high relief in the neoclassical style typical of late 18th-century Spanish colonial coinage. The king's hair is styled in a period queue with a ribbon, and he wears a lace-trimmed coat visible at the truncation. The circumferential legend encircles the effigy, with the date 1789 positioned in the lower exergual area beneath the bust. The portrait displays the characteristic broad facial features associated with the early Carlos IV coinage type, closely following the model established for colonial mints. |
