| Obverse description | Three-quarter length effigy of Emperor Charles V facing slightly right, crowned, holding an upright sword in his right hand and a globus cruciger (orb) in his left, rendered in the late Gothic hammered style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Low Countries coinage. The imperial regalia are depicted in fine relief, and the figure is set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend runs continuously along the coin's periphery. |
