| Obverse description | Spanish Netherlands Flanders Patagon host coin of Philip IV, showing two Russian countermarks applied in 1655: a circular equestrian countermark depicting the Tsar on horseback within a beaded circle, and a rectangular date cartouche bearing the Cyrillic date stamp '1655'. The host coin's original Latin peripheral legend, reading PHIL·IIII·D·G·HISP·ET·IND·AR·REX, remains partially legible around the coin's rim. The countermarks are boldly struck and dominate the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of the underlying Spanish Netherlands Flanders Patagon, featuring the crowned quartered arms of the Spanish Habsburgs on an ornate heraldic shield, with the Order of the Golden Fleece suspended below. The elaborate shield is flanked by the initials of the mint and encircled by a Latin legend reading BVRG·COM·FLAN·DNS·COLL·N, though portions of the legend are worn or partially obscured due to the age and circulation of the host coin. The overall design reflects the standard Patagon coinage of the Spanish Netherlands under Philip IV. |
