| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a large quartered heraldic shield bearing the combined arms of the Habsburg territories, including the arms of Castile, Leon, Austria, Burgundy, and further dynastic quarterings, with the date 1522 inscribed above the shield. The shield is rendered in bold relief typical of early sixteenth-century German hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the shield, with the circular legend running along the outer border of the coin. The legend reads FERDINAND I D G PRIN HISPA, identifying the issuer as Ferdinand I, by the grace of God Prince of Spain. The overall style reflects the Renaissance heraldic conventions of the Habsburg imperial workshop. |
