| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of Philip II facing left, rendered in high relief in the hammered style typical of late 16th-century Spanish Netherlands coinage. The king wears an elaborate royal crown and a richly layered ruffled collar, with his beard and facial features rendered with notable artistic detail. The effigy is set within a circular Latin legend reading PHS · D : G · HISP · Z · REX · D · TORNA ·, identifying Philip as King of Spain and Lord of Tournai. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven at the edges, consistent with the hammered production technique of the period. |
