• Reverse: The coin’s reverse portrays the Spanish Pillar Dollar, also known as a peso, or a ‘piece of eighth’. Under the inscription ‘VTRAQUE’ (both are one), the coin portrays the Spanish Crown and two hemispheres representing the Old World and the New World. These elements are surrounded by representations of the Pillars of Hercules, both draped in spiraling banners displaying the words ‘PLVS VLTA’ (more beyond). It has been suggested that the s-shaped configuration of the banners around the columns explain the origin of the ‘$’ sign. An ornamental mint mark, ‘Mo’ is uniquely shown, a nod to the original coin’s Mexico City origins. Also included in the design is the 2025-year date and the ‘P’ mint mark.
