| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of King Philip II facing right, depicted in armour with a ruffled collar, rendered in a bold Renaissance style. Mint master's initials or assayer marks appear in the field behind the bust. The surrounding legend in Latin runs along the inner border of the coin, separated from the bust by a plain inner circle. The flan is irregular, characteristic of hammered coinage of the period. The overall execution reflects the Neapolitan workshop tradition of the mid-sixteenth century. |
