| Reverse description | A bold Jerusalem Cross (cross potent) divides the field into four quadrants, each containing alternating castles and lions in the Spanish colonial heraldic tradition. The cross is struck in high relief relative to the surrounding field, characteristic of the macuquina cob technique. The quadrants display the castles of Castile and the rampant lions of León in a quartered arrangement. Much of the peripheral area is irregular and uneven due to the flan's cob character, with design elements frequently running to the edge. The mint mark P (for Potosí) and assayer initial are typically found adjacent to the cross arms. |
