| Obverse description | Central four-sectioned (quartered) heraldic shield occupying the field, with the date split and flanking the shield at left and right (6 - 4, completing 1564). The shield is enclosed within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by a continuous Latin legend reading the bishop's titles and name. The coin is struck on an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered coinage of the period. |
