Obverse description Crowned and draped bust of Carlos II facing right, with long flowing hair cascading over the shoulders. The king is depicted with an elaborate royal crown atop his head and ornate drapery across the chest, rendered in a high-relief Baroque style. A mintmaster's mark appears at the base of the truncation. The peripheral legend, separated by pellets, reads CAR·II·DG·REX·HISP·ET·NEAP·, disposed around the effigy within a milled border.

Reverse description Central design features the badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece — a suspended fleece on a collar — set within an ornate Baroque cartouche or frame. The divided date and the denomination indicator G·X appear flanking the central device in the field, with no peripheral legend. The composition is characteristic of late Spanish Habsburg coinage for Naples, emphasizing dynastic heraldic symbolism.
