| Obverse description | Full-length facing figure of Emperor Charles V standing in the field, depicted in imperial regalia with a sword held upright in his right hand and an orb in his left, rendered in the characteristic flat, linear style of hammered Rhenish gold coinage. The emperor is shown bearded, wearing a crown and long robes, with decorative armour details visible. A circular beaded inner border frames the design. The surrounding legend reads CAROL V ROMA IM SEM AV 57, identifying Charles V as ever-august Emperor of the Romans, with the date 1557 incorporated into the legend. |
