| Obverse description | Central crowned shield bearing four vertical pales (the arms of Aragon), flanked by the divided numeral indicating the denomination. The design is enclosed between two concentric beaded circles, with a Latin legend running around the periphery. The overall style is characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Catalan hammered coinage, with the heraldic shield as the primary device and royal titulature in abbreviated form within the legend. |
