| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Philip II facing left, wearing a ruff collar and pauldron, with curled hair rendered in fine detail characteristic of late 16th-century Spanish Netherlands portraiture. The date 1580 appears in the exergue below the effigy, divided by the Dordrecht mint mark (a rosette). The encircling Latin legend reads PHILIPPVS · D : G · HISP · REX · C · HOL, identifying the ruler as Philip II, King of Spain and Count of Holland. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and slightly uneven strike typical of hammered silver coinage of this period. |
