| Reverse description | A quadrated design featuring a plain cross dividing the field into four sections, each containing alternating castles and lions within a four-lobed polylobe border. The arrangement follows the standard type for Spanish colonial macuquina (cob) coinage of Felipe II. A beaded outer border frames the composition, with partial legends visible around the periphery. The flan is irregular in shape, as is typical of hammered cob coinage struck at Lima during this period. |
