| Obverse description | Crudely struck crowned royal arms of Castile and León in the field, rendered in low relief with a castle and lion motif surmounted by a crown. The design is characteristic of emergency siege coinage, with rough, irregular workmanship typical of wartime production. The abbreviated legend 'F.C V8' appears in the field, referencing the denomination and issuing authority. The overall style reflects the primitive engraving tools and urgent circumstances under which the coin was produced. |
