| Obverse description | Bearded right-facing bust of Philip II of Spain, depicted with curly hair and wearing a ruffled collar with a draped mantle, filling the majority of the field in the characteristic bold relief of hammered Low Countries coinage. The portrait is rendered in a slightly archaic style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Netherlands mint work, with strong facial features and naturalistic beard. The circumferential Latin legend reads PHS · D · G · HISP · Z · REX · DNS · TRAIE, with the date 1572 appearing in the lower portion of the legend. The coin exhibits the irregular flan shape inherent to hand-hammered production, with the legend partially crowded at the edges. |
