| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a kneeling mint worker in period costume strikes a coin blank with a hammer upon an anvil, with freshly struck planchets scattered at his feet. The scalloped outer border features four quatrefoil ornaments at the cardinal points, with the Madrid mint mark (M) and assayer marks visible in the lower field. The denomination legend '2.000 PESETAS' arcs across the upper field and the issuer name 'ESPAÑA' is inscribed along the lower field, both outside the beaded circle. |

| Reverse description | The central device reproduces, in high relief, the obverse design of a Philip II 8 Reales coin struck at the Segovia Mint in 1588, displaying the quartered royal arms of Spain — Castile, León, Aragon, and Granada — surmounted by an imperial crown, all within a beaded border and the original coin's circumferential legend. The surrounding field of the commemorative coin bears the arc inscription 'CASA DE LA MONEDA DE SEGOVIA' above and the date '2001' below, with quatrefoil ornaments flanking the date. The scalloped rim echoes the design of the obverse. |
