| Obverse lettering | ENRICVS DEI GRACIA REX (Translation: Enrique IV King by the grace of God) |
| Reverse description | Central device depicts a rampant lion passant set within a lozenge (diamond-shaped) frame, enclosed by a double inner circle, mirroring the obverse layout typical of this Enrique IV blanca issue. The lion is shown in the conventional heraldic style of Castilian medieval coinage. The peripheral legend reads XPS VINCIT XPS REGNAT in Latin characters, the customary Laudes Regiae acclamation. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production at a provincial Castilian mint. |
