| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip II facing right, wearing a ruffled collar and pauldron, rendered in the Renaissance portrait style typical of Habsburg coinage. The effigy occupies the central field with fine detail in the facial features and armor. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading PHS. D: G. HISP Z REX. DVX. BRA, with the date 1562 appearing in the lower field beneath the portrait. The design reflects the official royal portraiture conventions of the Spanish Netherlands under Philip II. |
