| Obverse description | Central field depicts a highly detailed gothic castle with three towers, the central tower being the tallest, all surmounted by battlements and featuring arched gateways and windows rendered in a characteristic medieval Castilian style. The castle, symbolizing the Kingdom of Castile, is shown with elaborate architectural detail including turrets, crenellations, and decorative elements. A circular Gothic legend in Latin surrounds the central device, reading the royal titulature of Enrique IV. The design is framed by a beaded inner border, typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. |
