| Obverse description | Armored, bareheaded bust of Philip II facing left, with the date appearing below the bust as an inverted extension of the surrounding legend. The countermark A13.1, depicting the Holland lion, is applied behind the neck in the field. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of mid-sixteenth-century Burgundian Netherlands coinage, with fine detail on the cuirass. The peripheral Latin legend encircles the bust, interrupted only by the placement of the countermark. |
