| Reverse description | Crude hammered cob reverse displaying the Jerusalem cross — a large cross pattée dividing the field into four quarters, each containing alternating castles of Castile and lions of León within tressured compartments. The arms of the cross extend to the periphery of the irregular flan, with a crowned lion rampant visible in the lower quarter. Partial peripheral legend is present where the flan permits, consistent with the macuquina hammered technique standard at the Mexico City Mint during the early Bourbon period. |
