| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the quartered royal shield of Ferdinand and Isabella, displaying the castles of Castile and the lions of León in alternating quarters, with the combined arms of Aragon (pales) and Granada (pomegranate) also incorporated. The mint mark 'S' (Seville) appears to the left of the shield. The ornate shield is enclosed within a beaded inner border, above which a decorative Gothic frieze runs along the upper rim. The circumferential legend in Gothic-influenced Latin lettering reads FERNANDVS · ET · ELISABET. |

| Reverse description | Central device features the crowned Gothic monogram of Ferdinand and Isabella (the interlaced F and Y cypher) set within a multi-pointed radiating design reminiscent of a sun or wheel pattern, evoking the Gothic style of late 15th-century Castilian coinage. The monogram is surmounted by a crown and flanked by radiating lines filling the inner field. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the circumferential Latin legend, which reads +REX · ET · REGINA · CASTELE, identifying the monarchs as King and Queen of Castile. |
