Rather than showing a dull earlier Philip, here a coin which stretches the boundaries - but I hope some will find this type of coin interesting:  Undertype/matrix is a 4 Maravedis 1598 from Philip III (1598-1621, King of Spain - CC#186+ (Tipo-25) As proof enlargement of the bottom right corner of the obverse:  [Yes, it was revalued in 1659 (by another Philip), Philip IV (1621-1665)]

The Ancients provided many good examples of "Q" I have none. So I will point out the monogram "Q".
