| Reverse description | Two crowned Pillars of Hercules, symbolizing the Strait of Gibraltar, with the assayer's initial R positioned between the columns. Three pellets arranged vertically above the legend indicate the denomination of 3 reales. The PLVS VLTRA motto, referencing the Spanish imperial device, appears on the banderoles encircling the pillars. The legend in Latin runs along the periphery in Gothic script, and the overall composition reflects the standard Pillars-and-Waves type of early Mexico City colonial coinage. |
