| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned bust of King John II Casimir Vasa, wearing a royal crown adorned with fleurs-de-lis and cross finial, his long curly hair falling to the shoulders, draped in an ermine-trimmed mantle with an ornate collar and chain of order visible at the chest.

| Reverse description | Panoramic view of the city of Gdańsk (Danzig) as seen from the River Motława, depicting the characteristic skyline of church spires, towers, and municipal buildings rendered in fine detail. Above the cityscape, rays of divine light emanate downward from a Hebrew Tetragrammaton (יהוה) enclosed within an oval cartouche in the upper field, with the numeral 4 flanking it to indicate the denomination. In the lower foreground, the arms of the city of Gdańsk — a crowned shield bearing two crosses — are displayed between the mint master's initials G and R. The circumferential Latin legend reads CIVITAS GEDANENSIS FIERI FEC: 4 EX AURO SOLIDO, meaning 'The City of Gdańsk had this struck from pure gold.' |
