| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip IV facing right, depicted in profile with a ruffled collar and pauldron visible, set within a circular legend. The peripheral Latin inscription reads PHILIPP IIII D G R, identifying the monarch as King Philip IV by the grace of God. The design is executed in the crude hammered style typical of low-denomination Neapolitan copper coinage of the early seventeenth century. The flan is irregularly shaped, and the relief is worn, consistent with a heavily circulated specimen showing patches of green cuprite corrosion. |
