| Aversbeschreibung | Central field bears a crowned lion rampant facing left, rendered in low relief characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Spanish hammered coinage. The figure occupies most of the flan, with the crown visible above the lion's head. A partial Latin legend surrounds the central device along the irregular coin edge, reading PHILIPPVS IIII D G, invoking Philip IV by the grace of God. The strike is typical of the period, with uneven flan edges and variable relief due to the hammered production technique. Moderate wear and green patina are present across the surface. |

The resello coinage of mid-17th century Castile reflects one of the more desperate fiscal episodes in Spanish monetary history. Chronic silver shortages and the costs of near-continuous warfare had so debased confidence in vellón coinage that the Crown repeatedly ordered old copper pieces recalled and countermarked to new face values — inflating nominal worth without adding metal. The 1661 resello campaign was among the last of these cycles before the monetary reforms of 1680 finally collapsed the vellón system outright.
Cuenca's mint was among the smaller Castilian operations, and its output from this period is accordingly scarcer than Madrid or Segovia strikes.
