| Obverse description | Draped bust of Philip IV of Spain facing right, wearing a high ruffled collar, with the royal crown above. The legend encircles the effigy, with the date, where present, appearing at the end of the inscription. The portrait is rendered in a formal Baroque style typical of Spanish viceregal coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | A heart-shaped heraldic shield displaying the manifold quartered arms of the Spanish Crown — including the castles of Castile, lions of León, chains of Navarre, and fleurs-de-lis of Anjou among other quarterings — set within an ornate crowned Baroque cartouche with scrolled acanthus-leaf decoration. The royal legend encircles the composition, identifying Philip IV as King of the Spains and the Two Sicilies. Mintmaster initials appear in the field. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered silver coinage produced at the Naples mint during the early seventeenth century. |
