| Obverse description | Plain field carrying a three-line Polish-language legend arranged horizontally across the centre: MONETA / W OBLEZENIU / ZAMOSCIA, meaning 'Coin struck during the Siege of Zamość.' Below the legend, at the base of the field, a small engraved bomb or mortar-shell device with a lit fuse serves as the sole decorative element, referencing the military context of this emergency issue. The overall design is stark and utilitarian, devoid of any portrait, arms, or ornamental border, reflecting the improvised nature of siege coinage. |
