| Obverse description | Half-length armored effigy of Philip II facing left, depicted in three-quarter view, wearing elaborately engraved plate armor with ruffled collar and holding an orb-tipped sceptre in his right hand. The portrait is rendered in the Renaissance style typical of Spanish Netherlands coinage, with fine detailing on the armor's surface. The date 1579 appears in the lower field, divided by the bust. The Latin legend encircles the effigy within a beaded border, reading: PHS · D : G · HISP · Z · REX · DVX · GEL · C · 3. |
