| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of Carlos II facing right, set within a beaded inner circle. The royal crown surmounts the effigy prominently. The date ANO 1686 appears integrated within the surrounding Latin legend in the field. The peripheral legend reads ✠ CAR II HISP REX ANO 1686, struck in a somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of provincial Ibiza coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Crowned shield of Ibiza displaying vertical pales (pallets), representing the arms of the island, centrally positioned within a beaded inner circle. A large royal crown surmounted by a cross tops the escutcheon. The peripheral Latin legend ✠ MAGNI VNIVERITIS EBVSIE encircles the device, referencing the Universitat (governing body) of Ibiza. The overall execution reflects the characteristic irregular style of hammered copper coinage produced for local circulation. |
