| Obverse description | Draped bust of Philip II facing left, depicted with a short beard and wearing an elaborately decorated cuirass and ruffled collar, rendered in high relief in the Renaissance portrait style. The two-digit date appears in the lower field beneath the bust. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the effigy, identifying the ruler as King of Spain and Count of Holland by the grace of God. The portrait is bold and finely engraved, consistent with the artistic conventions of mid-sixteenth-century Netherlandish coinage. The planchet is irregular, as is typical of hammered issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | A crowned coat of arms of Philip II is centrally placed upon a saltire (St. Andrew's cross), with two firesteels flanking the shield to left and right, emblems of the Order of the Golden Fleece and the House of Burgundy. The jewel of the Order of the Golden Fleece hangs suspended below the shield on a collar chain. The overall composition is heraldically precise and characteristic of the Philipsdaalder type struck in the Low Countries. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, reading the devotional motto of the Habsburg rulers. |
