| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the quartered Royal Arms of Castile and León within a plain shield, displaying alternating castles (Castile) and rampant lions (León) in the four quadrants, with a smaller escutcheon of Granada at the base point. The assayer's initial appears to the left of the shield. As typical of cob coinage (macuquina), the strike is irregular and the surrounding legend is only partially visible on the flan, with the shield design serving as the primary identifying element. |

| Reverse description | A bold, ornate cross occupies the central field, its four arms extending toward the flan edges and dividing the design into quadrants. Each quadrant is filled with alternating castles and lions in the Spanish heraldic tradition, enclosed within a tressure of pointed cusps forming a quadrilobe border. A partial Latin legend surrounds the design, though much of it is lost beyond the irregular edge of the cob flan, as is characteristic of hammered macuquina coinage from the Mexico City Mint. |
