| Obverse description | Crowned and armored bust of Philip II of Spain facing right, wearing elaborately decorated plate armor with a ruffled collar, holding a scepter in his left hand. The effigy is rendered in the Flemish hammered style typical of the period, with fine detail in the crown and armor chasing. A circular Latin legend runs along the toothed border reading PHS D G HISP Z REX DNS TORNA with the date 1579 at the base, identifying Philip as King of Spain and Lord of Tournai. |
