| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip II, King of Spain, facing left, wearing a ruff collar and richly detailed plate armor, rendered in the robust relief characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Netherlandish hammered coinage. The effigy occupies the central field, with the king's curly hair and beard rendered with fine engraving detail. A circular Latin legend runs along the full periphery, separated from the bust by a beaded inner border. The mint mark appears in the lower field beneath the bust. The coin's irregular flan and die-struck surface reflect the hand-hammered production technique of the Hasselt mint. |
