| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned coat of arms of Catalonia, with the value indicator flanking the shield. The arms are enclosed within beaded inner and outer circles, with a continuous Latin legend running around the circumference. The inscription includes the royal name PHILIPPVS, affirming the authority of Philip IV of Spain, while the denomination mark V R (five reales) appears divided by the shield. The overall design reflects the crude, irregular execution typical of siege and emergency coinage of the period. |
