| Obverse description | Crowned quartered shield of Castile and León at center, displaying alternating castles and lions in the four quarters, enclosed within an ornate tressure. Two large Pillars of Hercules flank the shield on either side, each entwined with a scroll banner. A partial circular legend in Latin runs along the irregular periphery of the cob flan. The entire design is characteristic of the macuquina (cob) coinage style, with bold but irregular striking typical of the Potosí mint of this period. |
