| Obverse description | Crowned bust of King Juan II facing left, rendered in a stylized medieval manner characteristic of Castilian hammered coinage. The royal crown is prominently depicted atop the monarch's head, with visible facial features and drapery suggested in low relief. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan, though partially weak due to the irregularity of the hammered fabric. The overall die work is typical of the rough, artisanal style of fifteenth-century Castilian billon coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylized three-towered Gothic castle, emblem of the Kingdom of Castile, depicted in full face with a central keep flanked by two lateral towers, each surmounted by battlements. An arched gateway is visible at the base of the central tower, rendered in bold relief typical of hammered Castilian billon issues. The castle occupies the majority of the reverse field, with a partial Latin legend encircling the design along the edge of the irregular flan. The die work, though coarse, clearly conveys the heraldic symbolism central to the Castilian monetary tradition. |
