| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Pillars of Hercules design characteristic of the Spanish colonial pillar coinage, with two crowned columns flanking a central heart-shaped punch-cut hole. Wavy lines representing the seas appear at the base between the columns, and the date 1745 is inscribed in the lower field. The circular legend reads VTRAQUE VNUM (both as one), referencing the union of the Old and New Worlds. |
