| Obverse description | Central crowned shield bearing four vertical pales (the arms of Aragon), flanked by the numeral value indicators, all contained within an inner beaded circle. A Latin legend encircles the design between two concentric beaded borders, invoking the royal title and authority of Philip IV. The shield is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of mid-17th-century Catalan civic coinage, with a crown surmounting the escutcheon. The overall composition reflects the Castilian-Aragonese regal iconography adapted for Catalan municipal emergency coinage during the Reapers' War. |
