The image contains two copper-colored coins. The coin on the left features the side profile of a man and woman. The man has curled hair and wears a garment with a high collar. The woman has her hair pulled back and appears to be wearing a dress. The words 'CAROLO IV HISPAN IARUM REX' are written along the top edge. The words 'MARIA LUIZA REGINA' are written near the bottom edge. The coin on the right features a sculpture on a pedestal of a man on horseback. The man holds a flag in one hand and his other arm is extended. The horse is rearing up on its hind legs. A lion is under the pedestal. The words 'CAROLO IV HISPAN IARUM REX' are written along the top edge. The bottom edge contains several lines of text and the date 'AN 1796'. The background is gray and darkens toward the top.
