| Obverse description | Crowned bust of John II facing left, rendered in a late-medieval hammered style typical of the Crown of Aragon coinage. The monarch wears a fleur-de-lis crown, with draped shoulders visible below. Hair is depicted in parallel relief lines falling behind the ear. The portrait is contained within the coin's irregular flan, with no surrounding legend on this side. |
