| Reversbeschreibung | Crowned quartered shield of the Spanish royal arms at center, displaying the castles of Castile, lions of León, fleurs-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty, and the pomegranate of Granada, with the arms of Anjou on an escutcheon at the base. The denomination numeral 2 appears to the left of the shield and the assayer monogram S (for escudos) to the right. The circumferential legend AUSPICE DEO IN UTROQ FELIX encircles the design, separated by bullet stops, with the Lima mint mark and assayers' initials IJ flanking the base of the shield. A toothed border frames the entire design. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Charles IV inherited the Spanish throne in 1788 and almost immediately faced the financial strain of wars with Revolutionary and then Napoleonic France. The Lima mint, one of the most productive gold-striking facilities in the colonial Americas, kept supplying the Crown with escudos throughout this period even as Spain's political situation deteriorated badly. The 1808 endpoint of this type is not incidental — Napoleon's forced abdication of Charles IV and his son Ferdinand that year effectively ended the Bourbon administration of the colonies and set Spanish America on its long road toward independence.
The Lima coinage of this reign is generally well-regarded for consistency, though assayer initial changes across the run give collectors a workable set of minor varieties to pursue.
