| Obverse description | Crowned facing bust of King Henry IV, shown frontally in a stylized, medieval manner with a prominent ornate crown rising above the effigy. The king is depicted wearing a decorated collar and robes with beaded ornamentation visible at the chest. The portrait, typical of Castilian hammered coinage of this period, is rendered in a somewhat schematic style within a beaded inner circle. The Latin legend encircles the bust, running along the outer rim of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A detailed castle with three towers enclosed within an octolobe (eight-lobed) inner frame, typical of Castilian royal coinage of the 15th century. The central tower is the tallest, flanked by two lower turrets, with architectural detailing including crenellations and archways rendered in the field. A beaded border separates the octolobe from the surrounding Latin legend, which runs along the periphery of the coin. The mint mark of Seville appears in the field. The overall design is characteristic of the coinage reforms of Enrique IV. |
