| Reverse description | Two crowned Pillars of Hercules rising from stylized ocean waves, each pillar surmounted by a royal crown, with a scroll banner bearing the motto PLVS VL TRA draped between them; the assayer initial and mint mark appear in the central field between the pillars, accompanied by the date. The circumferential legend HISPANIARVM·ET·INDIA·RVM·REX runs around the periphery, partially visible due to the irregular flan typical of hammered cob coinage. The overall composition follows the standard macuquina type introduced for Spanish colonial silver issues. |
