| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip II facing left, wearing a ruff collar and pauldrons, with the legend surrounding the effigy in Latin. The date appears below the bust, divided by the mint mark (a cross), with the regnal inscription identifying Philip as King of Spain and Duke of Guelders. The portrait is rendered in the robust hammered style typical of mid-16th-century Netherlandish coinage, with the king's features shown in profile. The legend is separated by pellets and runs continuously around the coin's circumference. |
