| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Philip II facing left, rendered in high relief with finely engraved curled hair and beard, wearing an elaborately decorated cuirass with ruff collar. The encircling Latin legend runs along the outer border of the coin, interrupted at the base by the date 1561. A small circular countermark (A13.1), depicting a crowned lion passant within a dotted border, is applied to the right field behind the neck of the effigy. The overall style is characteristic of Netherlandish hammered coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. |
