| Obverse description | Imitation of a Spanish colonial cob-style gold escudo. The central field displays a quartered shield bearing alternating castles and lions, characteristic of the Royal Arms of Castile and León, divided by a plain cross. Two crowned supporters, rendered in low relief, flank the upper portion of the shield. The overall design is consistent with the macuquina (cob) coinage typology of the Spanish colonial mints, with deliberately irregular flan shape and softly struck, somewhat blurred details typical of modern cast reproductions. |

| Reverse description | Imitation of the reverse type associated with Spanish colonial gold escudos of the cob (macuquina) series. The central device features a Jerusalem cross composed of four equal arms within a decorative border, surrounded by radiating legend panels containing stylized Latin characters rendered in an archaic script imitating those found on genuine colonial-era pieces. The surrounding field displays a beaded or dotted inner border with floral and foliate ornaments, consistent with the cob coinage style. Details are soft and indistinct, as expected of a modern cast reproduction rather than a struck original. |
