Investigators identified a variant of the Jerusalem Cross on one face of many coins. Digital magnification also revealed a shield bearing the emblems of Castile and León. The reverse showed the Pillars of Hercules motif above stylized waves, a feature unique to the Lima mint. Lettering and numerals included an L for Lima, an 8 for denomination, an H for assayer Francisco de Hurtado, the inscription P V A for Plus Ultra and the date 707 for 1707.
