| Obverse description | Full-length armored effigy of Emperor Charles V facing right, crowned and holding an orb in his left hand and a scepter in his right, the figure rendered in a stately Renaissance style. The date is divided by the standing figure in the field. The circumferential legend in Latin identifies the sovereign. The overall design reflects the immobilized coinage tradition, perpetuating the imperial iconography of Charles V long after his reign. |
