It's a gorgeous coin, congratulations! In the first set, I prefer the obverse. The tilt of the reverse and angle of lighting is not as flattering as it could be. In the second set, the mismatched tilt is jarring. The obverse is very out-of-round, but I like the reverse in this set. The way the obverse is lit is very flattering but the amount of tilt disturbs the harmony. Combining obverse from the first set and reverse from the second set doesn't work well due to color mismatch (I'm not adept enough with Photoshop to overcome that). Still though, I like these two together better than either set above. Mostly though I encourage you to reshoot it . I'd tilt the obverse very slightly more towards the light to flood the fields. That usually gives a flattering contrast between the device and field, similar to the obverse in your second set but without the extreme tilt. The reverse in the image below has that type of tilt/lighting.
@TIF did exactly how I would respond: Obv in 1 and Rev in 2. BTW, your Philip II is a TARGET for me to complement my Daric... (Yeah, seller's pic, but photos are not my forte.)

Yes, I have trying to reshoot it. The result is below. The problem is to show the full luster. When a coin lustrous only at field it is not so difficult to make a good photo. I feel this photo is not the end and I'll trying to do it better later.
