| Obverse description | Crowned and armored effigy of Sigismund III Vasa facing right, rendered in high relief with exceptional medallic artistry. The king wears an elaborate closed royal crown adorned with fleur-de-lis and cross finial, and is clad in ornate plate armor over which a richly draped mantle falls across the shoulders. A large, layered ruffed collar frames the lower face and neck, characteristic of early 17th-century Vasa court dress. The bearded portrait is finely detailed, conveying a strong royal presence. The Latin circumscription runs along the inner border of a beaded circle. |
