| Obverse description | Crowned bust of King Henry IV facing left, depicted with flowing hair and wearing scale-pattern armour at the shoulder, the effigy rendered in a bold, gothic style characteristic of mid-15th-century Castilian coinage. The crown is elaborate, featuring foliate and floral finials. The portrait is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend running around the periphery between the inner and outer beaded borders. |
