| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Philip II of Spain facing right, rendered in a somewhat crude hammered style typical of Neapolitan coinage of the period. The king is depicted with short curly hair and a ruffled collar visible at the neck truncation. A beaded border encircles the periphery. The legend PHILIPP · REX · ARA · VTRI runs around the bust, abbreviating Philippus Rex Aragoniae Utriusque, referencing his claim to the Two Sicilies. |
