| Obverse description | Central field features the elaborate crowned monogram of Ferdinand and Juana (F and I intertwined), rendered in a Gothic style typical of early 16th-century Castilian coinage, with a radiating bundle of arrows — symbol of Juana — prominently displayed alongside the yoke device of Ferdinand. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular Latin legend running between the beaded border and the irregular hammered rim. The mint mark and assayer's initial appear in the lower field. |

Cal#1 designates this as the first-listed type in Calicó's reference — a position that reflects the coin's foundational status in the Spanish colonial monetary framework that Ferdinand and Joanna jointly authorized. The pairing of their names on the coinage followed Joanna's formal recognition as Queen of Castile after Isabella's death in 1504, though effective power remained with Ferdinand throughout her progressive incapacitation.
The window between 1506 and 1507 is tight for a reason: Ferdinand was briefly displaced from Castilian governance by Philip I, Joanna's husband, before Philip's sudden death in September 1506 returned control to him.
