| Obverse description | Central device comprises a castled tower with three turrets, each crowned, rendered in high relief within a multi-lobed quatrefoil cartouche. The mint mark 'S' for Segovia appears in the lower field beneath the cartouche. A beaded inner circle separates the central design from the surrounding circular legend, which reads PHILIPPVS D G OMNIVM, identifying Philip II as sovereign by divine grace. The entire composition is characteristic of the roller-milled copper coinage introduced at the Segovia mint in the late sixteenth century, with well-defined raised borders framing the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a rampant lion passant within a multi-lobed quatrefoil cartouche, rendered in bold relief consistent with roller-milled production. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, separating it from the surrounding peripheral legend. The circular legend reads HISPAN REGNORVM REX followed by the date 1597, identifying Philip II as King of the Spanish Kingdoms. The reverse design, paired with the castle on the obverse, reflects the traditional Castile and León heraldic imagery employed on Spanish copper coinage of the period. |
