| Obverse lettering | VIS Y 26 (Translation: Louis I Diego de Ybarbourou 1726 Luis I Diego de Ybarbourou 1726) |
| Reverse description | The reverse displays the characteristic Pillars of Hercules design flanking the crowned royal monogram, with the denomination numeral '2' prominently struck in the upper field alongside the assayer's initial 'Y' for Diego de Ybarbourou. The legend 'PLVS VLTRA' appears in abbreviated form across the central field, referencing the Spanish royal motto. The mint mark 'P' for Potosí is present, and the date '725' or '726' is partially visible in the lower portion of the irregular cob flan. The hammered strike produces the typical uneven impressions and ragged edges associated with macuquina coinage of this period. |
