| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip IV facing right, set within a raised inner circle, the portrait rendered in low relief typical of the macuquina milled coinage of mid-17th-century Castile. The king is depicted with characteristic Habsburg features, wearing a ruffled collar and cuirass. The surrounding legend PHILIPPVS IIII D G runs clockwise within a beaded border, interrupted by the bust at the base. The overall die style is characteristic of the Granada mint workshop of this period. |
