| Obverse description | Central device depicts the castle of Castile, rendered as a multi-turreted fortification with three towers above a crenellated base, set within a dotted inner border. The mint mark and assayer's letter appear to the right of the castle in the field. The legend, partially visible due to the irregular flan and hammered production, reads DON PHILIPPE II in Latin characters, identifying the issuing monarch. The overall style is characteristic of late 16th-century Spanish hammered coinage, with the design somewhat weakly struck and unevenly distributed across the planchet. |
