| Reverse description | The Pahonia (Vytis) device of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania occupies the central field, depicting an armored knight on horseback galloping to the left, sword raised, with a shield on his left arm. The date appears in the lower field, with the mintmaster's initials SA flanking or adjacent to the date numerals. A column or Jagiellonian dynastic symbol is positioned below the horse. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by the Latin legend MONETA MAGNI DVCA LITV identifying this as coinage of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The reverse design varies across the series, with documented differences in the position of the horse's tail and the orientation of certain heraldic elements. |
