Description: | This is a "new plate" coin minted in Spain. New plate refers to the 20% reduction in the value of reals minted in Spain in relation to the reales minted in colonial Spanish America. This variety of coin was frequently called a "cross" real in the British colonies to distinguish it from the more valuable "pillar" real minted in the Americas.On the obverse to the left of the crowned Hapsburg arms of Spain there reads, from top to bottom: . R [cinquefoil] S . and to the right: . I P A . ; this is read across as R I, for the denomination of one real. The lower letter on the left is the mintmark for Seville and two initials on the right P A, are the initials of the assayers Pedro Remigo Gordillo and Antonio Montero whoworked together from 1731-36 (see, Pellicer i Bru, Glosario, pp. 48 and 171).http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinText/Sp-milled.2.html
