| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered Royal Arms of Castile and León, featuring castles and lions in alternating quarters, with Granada in the base. The shield is surmounted by the Royal Crown and flanked by the denomination numeral '8' to the left and the assayer's initial 'D' to the right. A partial circular legend reading PHILIPPVS II DEI G HISPANIARVM surrounds the shield. The strike is characteristic of the macuquina (cob) coinage tradition, resulting in an irregular planchet with partially visible design elements and legend. |
