| Obverse lettering | PHS · D · G · HISP · Z · REX · DNS · TRAIE 1572 (Translation: Philip, by God`s grace King of the Spaniards, Lord of Utrecht) |
| Reverse description | Central device consisting of the crowned arms of Philip II of Spain — a complex quartered heraldic shield displaying the lions of León, castles of Castile, and additional dynastic quarters — set within an ornate cartouche and surmounted by an imperial crown. The field surrounding the shield is decorated with small decorative ornaments and cross-shaped motifs in the style typical of Habsburg Low Countries coinage of this period. The circumferential Latin legend · DOMINVS · MIHI · ADIVTOR (The Lord is my helper) encircles the entire design, with pellet stops separating the words. The flan is irregular, as is characteristic of hammered coinage, and the strike shows some weakness at the margins. |
