| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Philip III facing right, depicted in a rudimentary hammered style characteristic of small Catalan copper coinage of the early 17th century. The effigy displays a simplified crown above the monarch's head, with schematic facial features and a draped shoulder. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading +PHILIPVS D G HIS R, identifying the ruler as Philip, King of the Spains by the Grace of God. The flan is irregular and the relief is low, consistent with the artisanal hammered technique employed at provincial Catalan mints. The field shows characteristic surface porosity and patination typical of base-metal issues of this period. |
