| Aversbeschreibung | The quartered Spanish royal arms occupy the central field, displaying castles and lions in the traditional Castile-León arrangement, surmounted by a royal crown, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The shield bears the characteristic rough, somewhat crude execution typical of the Manila Mint's early copper coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery between the beaded circle and the coin's edge, invoking the royal title of Carlos III. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Manila Mint was established in 1766 specifically to address the chronic shortage of small change in the Philippines, where Mexican silver reales dominated trade but fractional copper coinage was nearly nonexistent. The octavo series was the mint's first sustained copper issue, intended to serve the everyday transactions that silver could not practically reach. Production was irregular throughout the 1773–1783 window, hampered by inconsistent copper supply and the administrative disruptions following the British occupation of Manila in 1762–1764, which had left the colonial monetary infrastructure in considerable disarray.
KM#3 specimens frequently show uneven planchet preparation — a documented characteristic of the Manila Mint's early copper work, not random wear.
