| Reverse lettering | VLADISLAUS LOCTICUS SEU CUBITALIS. I. P. H. F. (Translation: The portrait by Marcello Bacciarelli, which served as the model for the medal by Jan Filip Holzhaeusser, shows the king's bust. His features were most likely modelled on his tomb in the Wawel cathedral. The king is wearing a helmet with chain mail and a tassel as well as rich Reiter armour (although it was anachronous as it was used only in the 17th century)) |

| Additional information |
Władysław I Łokietek — "the Elbow-high," so nicknamed for his reportedly short stature — unified the fragmented Polish duchies after more than two centuries of Piast dynastic subdivision and was crowned King of Poland at Kraków in 1320, the first such coronation in over a century. His reign established Kraków as the permanent royal capital and laid the political groundwork that his son Casimir the Great would inherit. The coin belongs to Poland's long-running series of large-format silver historicals issued by Mennica Polska, each tied to a monarch or figure shaping the national story.
