| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned imperial arms of Charles V, featuring the Habsburg double-headed eagle, superimposed over a long cross pattée that divides the surrounding legend into four segments. The crown above the shield is of the imperial type, rendered in the late Gothic style characteristic of Low Countries coinage of the period. The legend runs continuously around the coin's circumference within a beaded border, with cross stops separating the abbreviated titulature. The strike is irregular, typical of hammered billon coinage of the early sixteenth century. |
