| Obverse description | Central field bears a stylized castle with three towers, the central tower being taller and flanked by two shorter lateral towers, all rendered in the characteristic Romanesque manner of Castilian medieval coinage. The castle is enclosed within a plain inner circle. The surrounding legend reads ALF REX CASTELLE, disposed in capital Latin letters around the periphery, separated by pellets or cross stops. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered billon issues of the period, with a beaded or toothed border visible on parts of the rim. |
