| Reverse description | The reverse bears the Pillar dollar (columnario) design, depicting two crowned hemispheres of the Old and New Worlds set between the crowned Pillars of Hercules, each pillar bearing a banner inscribed with the motto PLUS VLTRA. A partial circumferential Latin legend surrounds the composition, with the date and assayer's initial (J) appearing in the lower field. The legend reads VTRAQUE VNUM, referencing the union of the Spanish realms. As is typical of macuquina coinage, the irregular flan results in much of the peripheral detail being weakly struck or absent, with only portions of the design fully realized on any given specimen. |
