| Obverse description | A crowned castle displayed within an octolobed (scalloped) inner border, surrounded by a circular legend between solid and beaded outer circles. The design is characteristic of the Felipe III maravedis roller-milled coinage. A rectangular countermark, applied plain (without value marking), is stamped in the field, revalidating the coin for continued circulation under the 1603 decree. |

The date 1598 and mint initial B appear as part of the surrounding legend. |
