| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip II of Spain facing right, depicted with curly hair and a short beard, wearing an elaborately ruffled collar and embossed plate armor with decorative detailing. The portrait is rendered in a bold, high-relief style characteristic of mid-16th-century Flemish hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading PHS · D : G · HISP · ANG · Z · REX · COMES · FLAN ·, with the date 1557 positioned in the lower field. The coin's irregular flan, typical of hammered production, gives the piece a naturalistic, handcrafted quality. |
