| Obverse description | Central field displays a crowned heraldic shield bearing the quartered arms of Philip the Handsome, encompassing the dynastic territories of Castile, León, Aragon, and the Habsburg lands, flanked by two supporters and surmounted by an imperial crown. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with the peripheral legend in Gothic uncial characters reading the ruler's titles. The overall composition reflects the late medieval Burgundian-Habsburg heraldic tradition, with deeply struck, bold relief typical of hammered silver coinage of the period. |
