| Reverse description | A bold floriated cross pattée occupies the center of the field, dividing the design into four quarters, each containing alternating castles and lions from the arms of Castile and León, set within a quadrilobe of scrollwork and floral ornaments. The surrounding legend reads REX HISPANIARVM ET INDIARVM, separated by mullets, within a beaded border. The overall composition reflects the macuquina-to-milled transitional style characteristic of early eighteenth-century Mexican coinage. |
