| Obverse description | Central field displays a large fleur-de-lis emblem, symbolizing the royal house, with the mint mark letter 'A' and a small star or rosette positioned below the fleur-de-lis. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Latin capital letters reads FERNANDVS·ET·ELISABET, identifying the joint monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, separated by pellet stops. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and uneven strike typical of hammered coinage of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. |

| Reverse description | Central field features the crowned monogram of the Catholic Monarchs, consisting of the interlaced Gothic letters 'F' and 'Y' (for Fernando and Ysabel), set against a radiate sunburst background of fine radiating lines, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend REX ET REGINA CAST LEGIO, meaning King and Queen of Castile and León, runs along the outer border separated by pellet stops. The overall style is consistent with the hammered silver reales struck under the Pragmatica of Medina del Campo (1497). |
