Obverse description Crowned royal arms of Castile and León displayed centrally within the field, showing the quartered shield with castles and lions in their respective quarters. The arms are surmounted by a crown, with partial legend running around the periphery. As characteristic of macuquina (cob) coinage, the flan is irregular and the design is only partially visible, with much of the surrounding legend and date lost to the clipping and striking process.
Obverse script Latin
Obverse lettering PHILIPVS IIII DEI G
(Translation: Felipe 4th by the grace of God)
