| Obverse description | Crowned facing bust of Philip II within a beaded inner circle, flanked on either side by small heraldic devices. The king is depicted wearing a crown surmounted by a cross, with draped shoulders visible below. A partial Latin legend runs along the lower periphery of the coin, partially obscured by the irregular flan. The overall style is characteristic of hammered coinage produced at the Valencia mint during the late sixteenth century. |

| Reverse description | Central crowned heraldic shield of Valencia, displaying the arms of the city, flanked by two rampant supporters — a lion to the right and an eagle or similar beast to the left — all within a beaded inner circle. The royal crown surmounts the shield at the top of the design. The surrounding Latin legend, partially visible on the irregular flan, references Valencia and the Balearic Islands. The composition reflects the characteristic style of hammered silver coinage struck at the Valencia mint under Philip II. |
