| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the crowned royal cipher 'C3', denoting Carolus III (the Archduke Charles of Austria, Habsburg pretender to the Spanish throne), rendered in bold raised relief. A small crown surmounts the cipher, serving as a mark of royal authority. The surrounding legend is largely indistinct due to the crude hammered technique and irregular flan, typical of emergency or provisional coinage struck during the War of the Spanish Succession. The overall design is characteristic of the debased small copper coinage produced for Valencia in the name of the Austrian claimant. |
