| Obverse description | Crowned half-length effigy of Philip II of Spain facing right, armored and draped, holding a scepter in his right hand and resting his left hand upon a large crowned heraldic shield bearing the quartered arms of Castile, León, Aragon, and other Habsburgian territories. The figure is rendered in the robust late-Renaissance style typical of Southern Netherlandish hammered coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the peripheral Latin legend divided by the royal portrait running clockwise around the coin. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of four crowned Gothic 'Ph' monograms of Philip II arranged in saltire (X-pattern), interspersed with four fleurs-de-lis at the diagonal axes and four small crowned ornaments at the cardinal points, all within a beaded inner circle. The date is divided across the upper and lower portions of the central device, reading '15' above and '77' or '78' below within the monogram arrangement, with the mint mark 'B' for Brussels integrated into the legend. The circumferential Latin legend · PACE · ET · IVSTITIA · surrounds the entire composition, separated by pellets. |
