| Obverse description | Quartered shield of the Spanish Royal Arms displayed in a cross-divided field, with castles (Castile) in the upper-left and lower-right quarters and rampant lions (León) in the upper-right and lower-left quarters, all rendered in the bold, slightly irregular relief characteristic of hammered cob coinage. A partial beaded inner border frames the shield, and fragmentary Latin legend is visible around the periphery on the irregularly shaped flan. The entire design reflects the macuquina (cob) style, with characteristic flan irregularities and incomplete strike typical of Potosí mint production of this period. |
