| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered royal arms of Castile and León, incorporating castles and lions in the respective quarters, surmounted by a crown, all within a shield. The mintmark 'P' for Potosí and the assayer's initial appear flanking the shield, with 'P' and 'I' visible in the field. A partial circular Latin legend runs around the periphery, though heavily clipped and partially off-flan as is characteristic of cob coinage. The die-struck design is typical of the macuquina (cob) style, with irregular flan edges and variable strike quality. |
