| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned composite arms of Philip II of Spain, incorporating the quartered escutcheon of Castile, León, Aragon, and other Habsburgian territories, surmounted by an imperial crown. The shield is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of the Spanish Netherlands, with visible fleur-de-lis and diagonal bar elements. The armorial device is flanked by decorative foliate scrollwork. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, partially obscured by the irregular flan. The overall design reflects the heraldic conventions of the sixteenth-century Low Countries mint production. |
