| Obverse description | Draped and crowned bust of Philip II facing left, with beard and cuirass visible at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in a somewhat archaic hammered style typical of mid-16th-century Burgundian coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, separated from the central device by an inner beaded border. |
