| Obverse description | Crowned quartered shield of Castile and León set within a beaded inner circle, the upper-left and lower-right quarters bearing the castle of Castile, the upper-right and lower-left quarters bearing the rampant lion of León. The shield is surrounded by an ornamental tressure. The denomination numeral '4' appears in the lower portion of the field below the shield. As is typical of cob coinage, the irregular flan results in only a partial impression of the design. |

| Reverse description | Crowned cross of Jerusalem with fleur-de-lis terminals occupying the four quadrants of the field, flanked by the motto PLVS VLTRA arranged in two columns across the horizontal bar of the cross, referencing the Spanish imperial device. The date and assayer's initial appear in the quadrants formed by the cross. A partial legend surrounds the design, though the irregular cob flan results in only fragmentary portions being visible. |
