| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed panoramic view of the Jasna Góra fortress-monastery of Częstochowa in the background, rendered with fine architectural detail including its characteristic tower and defensive walls. In the right foreground, a bearded Pauline monk in a striped habit is shown in three-quarter profile, clasping his hands in a contemplative or prayerful gesture. To the left, arcing cannonball trajectories and besieging forces in the field evoke the 1655 Swedish siege. The arc legend '350-LECIE OBRONY JASNEJ GÓRY' (350th Anniversary of the Defence of Jasna Góra) curves along the upper rim. The composition is executed in high-relief proof style with a deeply mirrored field. |
