| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned Spanish royal coat of arms within an ornate shield, with the mint mark 'R' to the left and denomination '2' to the right. A Jamaican 'GR' (Georgius Rex) countermark is prominently applied over the shield, validating the coin for circulation in Jamaica. The surrounding legend reads the royal titulature of Philip V of Spain in Latin. The overall design follows the standard macuquina/milled coinage style of the Mexico City mint, with the crowned shield as the dominant device. |
