| Reverse description | Central cross dividing the field into four quadrants, with the denomination numeral '4' in the upper left and the assayer's initial 'H' in the upper right; the mint mark 'P' for Lima appears in the lower left quadrant and 'VA' to the right, with the date partially visible in the lower portion. A floreate or tree-like device appears at the center of the cross. Wavy lines, possibly representing waves or a decorative base, appear along the lower field. The strike is characteristic of hammered cob coinage, with an irregular flan and partially rendered legends. |
