| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip II of Spain facing right, wearing a ruffled collar and elaborately decorated cuirass, occupying the central field. The legend surrounds the effigy along the periphery within a beaded inner border. The date, divided by the mint mark (a hand for Antwerp), appears in the lower field beneath the bust. The portrait is rendered in the late Renaissance style characteristic of Brabantine coinage of the period. |
