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.
