| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip II, King of Spain, facing left, with curly hair and a short beard, wearing an elaborately detailed cuirass with pauldrons and a ruff collar rendered in fine relief. The effigy occupies the central field, with the date split and appearing in the lower portion of the coin below the bust. The surrounding Latin legend runs clockwise along the periphery, reading PHS • D : G • HISP Z • REX • D • TRS • ISSV • followed by the year. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of the period, with a beaded border visible along the rim. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of the large quartered royal arms of Philip II of Spain, featuring the castles and lions of Castile and León, the chains of Navarre, and the fleurs-de-lis of Burgundy, with an escutcheon of Burgundy-Austria at the fess point. The shield is surmounted by an open imperial crown with fleurons. The entire composition is set within the field, flanked by decorative foliate or heraldic supporters on either side. The Latin legend • DOMINVS • MICHI • ADIVTOR • encircles the reverse, running along the beaded border. The flan shows characteristic surface cracking and irregularity consistent with hammered silver coinage of the sixteenth-century Low Countries. |
