| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip III, King of Spain, facing right, wearing a ruffled collar and royal crown, depicted in a formal court style typical of early 17th-century Milanese coinage. The denomination mark '5' appears in the lower left field. The circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, identifying the ruler as King of Spain. The portrait is rendered in a somewhat provincial but dignified manner characteristic of hammered billon coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Crowned quartered shield bearing the combined arms of Spain and Milan at its center, the escutcheon surmounted by an imperial crown and flanked by the quartered Castile and León fields alongside the Visconti biscione of Milan. The shield is rendered in considerable heraldic detail despite the limitations of the hammered technique. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, identifying Philip III as Duke of Milan and adding the customary 'et cetera' abbreviation denoting his additional titles. |
