| Obverse description | Central field depicts a crowned Gothic castle of Castile with three towers, the central tower being the tallest and featuring an arched gateway at its base, flanked by two shorter lateral towers, all rendered in typical late medieval Castilian style. A border of pellets or beading encircles the central design. The peripheral Latin legend, partially visible due to the irregular flan, reads ENRICVS DEI GRACIA, attributing the issue to Enrique IV by divine grace. The mintmark P, denoting the mint of Palencia, appears in the lower field beneath the castle. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a crowned royal bust or effigy of King Enrique IV facing left, depicted in a stylized heraldic manner characteristic of mid-fifteenth-century Castilian coinage, with a crown atop the head and the figure shown in profile. The surrounding Latin legend reads ENRICVS CARTVS DEI GRA, a contracted form of Enricus Quartus Dei Gratia, identifying the king as Henry IV. The strike is typical of hammered billon coinage of the period, with an irregular flan and uneven relief throughout the field. |
