| Obverse description | Central quartered royal arms of Spain — comprising castles and lions with a pomegranate in base — surmounted by an elaborate royal crown, all set within an ornate cartouche flanked by decorative foliage. The denomination numeral '4' appears in the upper right field, while the mint mark 'S' (Segovia) and assayer initial 'BR' are displayed to the left. The circular legend reading CAROLVS · II · D · G surrounds the shield, with the remaining legend elements distributed around the periphery of the coin. |

| Reverse description | A bold Jerusalem cross with lions and castles in the four quadrants, contained within a stylized quatrefoil (quadrilobe) frame, all rendered in high relief characteristic of the Segovia roller-milled coinage. The date 1683 appears prominently in the upper portion of the surrounding legend, with the full circular inscription HISPANIARVM · REX distributed around the periphery. The overall design follows the standard milled-gold escudo type introduced under the Spanish Habsburgs, exhibiting fine engraving consistent with the Segovia mint's screw and roller press production. |
