| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized castle with three towers, the characteristic heraldic emblem of the Kingdom of Castile, rendered in a bold and simplified Gothic manner typical of 13th-century Iberian coinage. The castle is depicted with two visible archways at the base and crenellated battlements above, set within a beaded inner circle. A crescent mintmark appears below the castle in the lower field. The surrounding legend, separated from the central device by the beaded border, reads + ALF `: REX CASTLE, identifying Alfonso X as King of Castile. |
