| Obverse description | Crowned half-length effigy of Stephen Báthory facing right, attired in royal robes and armor, holding a scepter. The royal portrait is rendered in high relief in the Renaissance style typical of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central effigy, identifying the ruler by name and title. The crown above the bust is elaborately detailed, befitting the king's status as ruler of Poland and Grand Duke of Livonia. |
