| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip III of Spain facing left, wearing a prominent ruffled high collar (golilla) and plate armor with visible pauldron and cuirass detailing. The effigy is rendered in a bold, slightly crude hammered style typical of Neapolitan coinage of the period. The mintmaster initials FC/C appear in the field to the right of the bust. The royal legend runs along the periphery in Latin capital letters. |

| Reverse description | A triple-towered castle, each tower surmounted by a heraldic animal, serves as the central device — a symbol of the Kingdom of Naples under Spanish Habsburgs. The design is enclosed within the coin's flat field, with the date appearing in the exergue where present. The reverse legend, expressing the motto of sufficiency for all, runs along the coin's periphery in Latin capital letters. The overall style is consistent with early seventeenth-century Neapolitan hammered silver coinage. |
