| Obverse description | Crowned royal arms shield occupying the central field, flanked to the left by the assayer's initial and to the right by the denomination numeral, all within a partial circular legend in Latin. The shield displays the quartered arms of Castile and León, characteristic of the macuquina (cob) coinage struck under Fernando VI. The die-struck design is irregular in outline due to the cob flan, and the legend, though partially visible, reads around the periphery. The overall style is consistent with the colonial hammered coinage produced at the Guatemala mint in the mid-eighteenth century. |
