| Obverse description | Draped and crowned bust of Philip II facing left, wearing a ruffled collar and imperial crown, rendered in a bold, slightly crude relief characteristic of late 16th-century provincial copper coinage. The effigy occupies the central field, with the bearded portrait displaying the distinctive Habsburg physiognomy. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted by pellet stops, with the date appearing at the end of the inscription. |
