| Obverse description | Quartered shield displaying the arms of Castile (castles) and León (lions), with additional heraldic quarters, all within a rough irregular flan typical of cob coinage. The shield is struck in low relief with characteristic macuquin a-style flat die impression. A partial circular legend in Latin runs around the periphery of the shield, though much of it is typically off-flan due to the nature of hammered cob production. The overall design reflects the standard royal arms used on Spanish colonial silver coinage of the early seventeenth century. |
