| Obverse description | A bold cross pattée with flared terminals occupies the central field, dividing the coin into four quadrants. The upper-left and lower-right quadrants display a castle (emblem of Castile), while the upper-right and lower-left quadrants bear a passant lion rampant (emblem of León). The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a partial outer legend running along the coin's irregular, cob-style periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Arms of Castile and León as a quartered shield surmounted by a crown, set between two crowned pillars of Hercules representing the Strait of Gibraltar. The denomination numeral '8' appears to the left of the shield and the assayer's initial 'M' to the upper right, with the date split across the field. A partial legend in Latin runs along the outer border. The letter 'L' indicating the Lima Mint appears prominently, along with the assayer mark and year '1725'. |
