| Obverse description | Central device depicts a turreted castle of Castile in high relief, rendered in the medieval heraldic style characteristic of Habsburg-era hammered coinage. The castle features three towers with crenellations, the central tower being the tallest, set upon a triple-arched base with visible embrasures. Mint assayer marks appear flanking the castle in the field, consistent with Burgos Mint production. The surrounding legend, partially visible on this irregularly flan, reads +DON·PHELIPPE·II· in Latin characters. The overall strike is off-center and the flan is heavily corroded, typical of low-grade billon survivors from this series. |
