| Obverse description | Crowned facing bust of Philip II in high relief at center, rendered in the archaic Valencian hammered style with simplified facial features. The bust is draped and shown frontally, surmounted by an open crown with fleurs. Flanking the effigy are decorative serpentine or foliate ornaments to either side, with pellets or roundels interspersed in the field. The legend PHILIPPVS DEI G M runs partially around the periphery, though it is largely obscured by the irregular flan and the coarse striking characteristic of hammered coinage. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a crowned royal monogram or letter, likely a Gothic 'V' for Valencia, set within a shield or cartouche and flanked by symmetrical serpentine or foliate ornaments with pellets in the field. Trefoil or leaf motifs appear at the upper corners, consistent with Valencian mint decoration of the period. The legend VALENCIA MAIORICARVM is distributed around the periphery, partially visible given the irregular flan typical of hammered coinage. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, and the overall execution reflects the die-engraving conventions of the Valencia mint under Philip II. |
