| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the crowned quartered arms of Philip II of Spain — incorporating the castles of Castile, lions of León, fleurs-de-lis of Burgundy, and the diagonal batons of Aragon — surmounted by an ornate royal crown. The shield is encircled by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, rendered in stylised chain links with the pendant fleece visible at the base. A circular Latin legend runs along the coin's periphery, partially visible on this irregularly plancheted specimen. |
