| Reverse description | The reverse presents two overlapping high-relief reproductions of historical coins of John Casimir Vasa against a mirror-polished field. The larger, selectively gilt coin on the left depicts a right-facing laureate and draped bust of John Casimir, identified by the legend IOAN· CAS· REX and the mintmaster's initials T·L·B· below the portrait; this represents the tymf. Partially overlapping from the right is a silver-toned boratynka (solidus), showing a large crowned royal cipher CF (Casimirus Fortis) at center, surrounded by Latin legends referencing the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The arc inscription BORATYNKA, TYMF JANA KAZIMIERZA curves along the upper periphery of the coin. |
