| Reverse description | Reverse of the host coin displaying the crowned Royal Arms of Castile and León, quartered with castles and lions, centered in the field in the standard Spanish colonial style. The legend surrounding the shield reads • HISPAN • ET IND • REX • with the mint mark and assayer initials flanking. A circular hole has been punched to the left of the shield, consistent with the cut-and-countermarked emergency coinage practice. The denomination mark '2R' and mint letter 'M' appear within the legend, identifying the host as a 2 Reales struck at Mexico City. The toothed border and milled edge are characteristic of late Spanish colonial milled coinage. |
