| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip II, King of Spain, facing right, depicted with short curly hair and a trimmed beard, wearing a ruffled collar and plate armor. The effigy is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style typical of mid-16th-century Low Countries coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading PHS · D · G · HISP · Z · REX · DVX · GEL ·, identifying Philip as King of the Spaniards and Duke of Guelders. The date appears in two digits in the lower field, split to either side of a central ornament. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, characteristic of hammered coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The crowned arms of Guelders occupy the central field, displaying the rampant lion of the duchy within an ornate shield surmounted by a royal crown. Small mullets or stars are scattered in the field surrounding the shield, adding decorative detail typical of Guelders coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend reads DOMINVS MIHI ADIVTOR, encircling the central device. The overall design is characteristic of the Habsburg Low Countries hammered silver coinage of the mid-16th century. The flan is irregular, with the legend partially weak at the periphery due to the hammered striking technique. |
