Obverse description Facing enthroned effigy of King Enrique IV, crowned and robed, seated upon an ornate Gothic throne, holding a sceptre in his right hand and an orb or sword in his left. A lion passant is depicted at the base of the throne beneath the king's feet, symbolising royal authority. The design is rendered in a bold, high-relief hammered style characteristic of late medieval Castilian coinage. A circular beaded border frames the composition, with the royal Latin legend disposed around the entire periphery of the field.
