| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip II, King of Spain and Count of Flanders, facing right, wearing a laureate helmet and draped in plate armor with elaborate detail. The effigy is rendered in a bold, high-relief style typical of late 16th-century Flemish hammered coinage. A Latin circular legend surrounds the portrait within the coin's field, identifying the sovereign as King of Spain and Count of Flanders. The flan is irregular, as is characteristic of hammered production, with the legend partially visible around the periphery. |
