| Obverse description | The central field bears two crowned coats of arms side by side: that of Don John of Austria to the left, encircled by the collar of the Golden Fleece, and that of Alexander Farnese to the right. A circular Latin legend surrounds the devices, referencing the death of Don John and the succession of Alexander Farnese, dated 1578. The token is heavily worn, with surface corrosion partially obscuring fine details. |
