| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the quartered Royal Arms of Spain surmounted by an elaborate royal crown, displaying the castles of Castile and lions of León in the first and fourth quarters, the fleurs-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty in the third quarter, and the pales of Aragon in the second quarter, with the pomegranate of Granada at the base. The mint mark 'Mo' and assayer initial 'J' appear to the left of the shield, with the date (1715 on the illustrated example) to the left within the legend. The surrounding circular legend reads PHILIPVS·V·DEI·G· followed by the date and mint/assayer designation, all in incuse Roman capitals between beaded borders, consistent with the early Bourbon milled coinage standard of the Mexico City Mint. |
