| Obverse description | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line inscription arranged in six horizontal registers, separated by incuse lines running across the full width of the flan. The legend, struck in bold Gothic-influenced Latin capitals, reads ALFONSVS REX CASTELLE ET LEGIONIS, identifying the issuer as Alfonso X, King of Castile and Leon. The lettering is deeply struck into the silver flan, with individual characters of varying regularity reflecting the hand-crafted nature of hammered medieval coinage. A beaded inner border encircles the inscription, itself followed by a toothed outer rim along the coin's irregular edge. There is no figural or heraldic imagery on this face; the entire design is epigraphic in character. |
