| Obverse description | Cross side of the cob-style doubloon replica, displaying a bold floriated cross with trefoil terminals dividing the field into four quadrants. The upper-left and lower-right quadrants bear the castles of Castile, while the upper-right and lower-left quadrants bear the lions of León, replicating the quartered royal arms of Spain. A partial circular legend surrounds the design, largely indistinct due to the cast cob (macuquina) format. The overall style faithfully imitates the irregular hammered coinage of the Spanish colonial mints of the early eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | Shield side of the cob-style doubloon replica, featuring the crowned royal arms of Spain set within a plain rectangular frame, imitating the escutcheon of the Spanish Habsburg/Bourbon coinage. To the left of the shield the denomination numeral '8' is visible, flanked by what appears to be a mintmark and assayer initial. The figure '4' is discernible below the shield, likely a partial date element consistent with the 1736–1740 period of Philip V's coinage. The irregular flan and cast surface replicate the characteristic appearance of macuquina gold cob coinage struck at colonial mints such as Lima or Mexico City. |
