| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered royal arms of Castile and León within a shield, showing the castles of Castile and the lions of León in alternate quarters, all surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is surrounded by a beaded inner border. The date 1652 appears to the left of the shield, and the mintmark 'CA' (Zaragoza) is visible to the right. The legend ARAGONUM · REX runs partially around the periphery, struck in the characteristically irregular style of hammered cob coinage. |
