| Obverse description | At the center of the coin, a crowned Burgundian cross with elaborate firesteel-and-flint ornaments fills the field, its four arms radiating outward to the coin's edge. A crowned firesteel badge is placed at the central junction of the cross. The date is divided across the horizontal arms of the cross, with '15' to the left and '67' to the right. The surrounding circular legend reads · PHS · D : G · HISP · Z · REX · COMES · FLAN ·, identifying Philip II as King of Spain and Count of Flanders, rendered in bold Gothic-influenced Latin lettering. The overall design is characteristic of the Burgundian heraldic tradition, with deeply struck, bold relief elements typical of mid-sixteenth-century hammered coinage. |
