| Obverse description | A rampant lion passant to the left, depicted in high relief, grasping an upright sword in its right paw while resting its left paw upon a globe, symbolizing sovereignty over land and sea. The figure stands within the coin's field with no inner border, characteristic of the hammered technique of the period. The date appears in the exergue below the lion. The surrounding legend runs along the coin's periphery in Latin capital letters, identifying Charles II as King of the Spains and the Indies. |
