| Obverse description | A crowned Burgundian firesteel (briquet) occupies the central field, set at the intersection of a saltire-form Burgundian cross whose four arms radiate toward the coin's periphery, each terminating in flint-and-steel motifs characteristic of the Order of the Golden Fleece insignia. The date is divided by the central crown, with '15' appearing to the left and '70' to the right. The circumferential Latin legend runs in a beaded border around the entire obverse, identifying Philip II as King of Spain and Count of Flanders. The overall composition reflects the distinctive Habsburgian heraldic vocabulary of the Spanish Netherlands in the sixteenth century. |
