Obverse
Royal emblem of Carlos and Juana surrounded by legend with Cross at top

At center the Spanish arms; a Castle and Lion sharing a crown held by a pillar; symbol of Castilla y León. At bottom the value flanked by 3 dots on each side.
On the outer circle a legend topped by a cross.
Lettering on this coin is divided in half and should be read from the Obverse to the Reverse to complete the Spanish Imperial motto of "CAROLVS ET IOHANA REGES HISPANIARVM ET INDIARVM"; which in most coins is placed completely on one side of the coin by abbreviating most words
