Obverse description Armored bareheaded bust of Philip II facing left, rendered in high relief in the late Renaissance style. The effigy displays detailed articulation of the cuirass. The date appears below the bust as an integral continuation of the peripheral legend, notably inscribed in inverted orientation relative to the coin's axis. The encircling Latin legend identifies the sovereign as King of Spain, England, and Duke of Gelderland.
