| Obverse description | Crowned quartered shield of Castile and León at center, displaying alternating castles and lions within the four quarters, all encircled by an ornate tressure. The denomination numeral '8' appears above the shield at twelve o'clock, flanked by the mintmark 'P' (for Potosí) to the left and assayer's initial 'M' to the right. The date, partially visible, is struck below the shield. The entire device is surrounded by a beaded or rope border characteristic of cob coinage, with the irregular flan shape typical of macuquina (cob) production. A hole is noted to the left of the shield, suggesting later use as a pendant. |
