The portrait features schematic facial details with a pronounced nose and chin, set against a plain field. The legend ANFVS REX is disposed around the periphery, identifying the monarch as Alfonso (Fernando II's co-ruler). The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a beaded outer border. |
