| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip II of Spain facing left, depicted in three-quarter view with a prominent ruffled collar and decorated breastplate bearing an order medallion. The effigy shows the king with a short beard, rendered in the late Renaissance style characteristic of Southern Netherlands mint work. The date appears in two parts divided by the bust at the lower field, reading 15-81 (or 15-80 depending on year of striking). The circumferential Latin legend runs around the periphery of the irregular flan, partially visible due to the hammered technique. |

| Reverse description | The crowned royal arms of Philip II of Spain occupy the central field, displaying the elaborate quartered shield encompassing the arms of Castile, León, Aragon, Sicily, Granada, Austria, Burgundy, Brabant, Flanders, and Tyrol, supported by two rampant lions as shield-bearers on either side. The shield is surmounted by an imperial crown and flanked by the crowned heraldic supporters. The circumferential Latin motto legend runs around the coin's periphery, partially legible on this hammered flan. The reverse composition follows the standard Philipsdaalder type as issued across the Habsburg Netherlands provinces. |
