| Obverse description | The reverse of the host Spanish colonial 2 Reales, serving as the obverse of the countermarked issue, displays the crowned Royal Arms of Spain at center, featuring the quartered shield with castles and lions surmounted by an ornate royal crown. The denomination numeral '2' appears to the right of the shield, with the mint mark and assayer initial to the left. The peripheral legend reads VTRAQUE UNUM, partially visible around the field, with additional fragmentary lettering. A prominent rectangular countermark applied by Montserrat colonial authorities is struck over the center of the coin, bearing a cruciform floral or foliate device with four five-pointed stars at the terminals and a central pellet, authenticating the piece for local circulation. |
