| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Philip IV facing right, rendered in a simplified, provincial style typical of Catalan emergency coinage of the period. The effigy is confined within an inner solid circle, with the legend disposed in the annular field between the inner solid and outer beaded circles. The portrait, while rudimentary in execution, conveys the characteristic presentation of the monarch used on contemporary Iberian issues. |
