| 裏面の説明 | Two conjoined shields surmounted by a royal crown occupy the central field. The left shield bears the Pahonia (mounted knight), the armorial device of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, while the right shield displays the arms of Vilnius — a fortified tower or castle. Below the shields, the Roman numeral denomination IIII identifies the piece as a four-groat coin. The encircling Latin legend MONETA MAGNI DVCAT LITVA, together with the date 1569, proclaims this as the coinage of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. |

Sigismund II Augustus issued this denomination during the final years of his reign, a period dominated by the negotiations that would produce the Union of Lublin in 1569 — the act that merged the Grand Duchy of Lithuania with the Kingdom of Poland into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Lithuanian mint at Vilnius pressed hard to establish a coherent silver coinage before that union effectively subordinated Lithuanian monetary administration to a joint framework.
The four-groat denomination itself was an awkward middle value, never fully embraced by commerce, which may partly explain why surviving examples in better grades remain findable today.
