| Reverse description | Two crowned Pillars of Hercules flanking stylized waves, representing the Strait of Gibraltar and symbolizing the Spanish imperial motto Plus Ultra. The mint mark 'P' for Lima, the assayer's initial, and the denomination mark appear in the field. The design is rendered in the cob (macuquina) style on an irregular flan, with portions of the surrounding legend partially struck. The overall composition reflects the standard reverso type used for colonial Spanish gold coinage of this period. |
