| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold Jerusalem cross, its four arms dividing the field into quadrants, each containing a small star or lozenge-shaped ornament at the angles, characteristic of the colonial escudo type struck at Santa Fe de Bogotá under Felipe V. Flanking the cross on the left is a large crowned monogram formed by intertwined Cs or Ps, rendered in the typical macuquin hammered fashion with bold, slightly irregular strokes. The surrounding Latin legend, partially visible due to the irregular planchet, records the king's title and the year of issue. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular, clipped outline of a hand-cut gold cob, with surfaces showing the texture inherent to hammered coinage of the period. |
