| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Ferdinand II facing left, with flowing hair and a prominent open crown, rendered in a late medieval Gothic style typical of Aragonese coinage. The effigy is enclosed within an inner beaded circle, with the royal legend disposed in the annular field between the inner and outer beaded borders. The portrait exhibits fine detail in the hair and crown tines, consistent with high-grade hammered silver craftsmanship of the period. |
