Obverse lettering SIGISMVNDVS. III. DG. REX. POL. ET. SVE.
Reverse description Elaborate quartered royal arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth displayed on an ornate shield surmounted by a closed crown, with subsidiary escutcheons bearing the heraldic emblems of Poland (White Eagle), Lithuania (Mounted Knight, the Pahonia), Sweden (three crowns and lion), and the Vasa dynastic sheaf. The central shield is flanked by decorative mantling and divided by a horizontal bar into upper and lower halves, with additional heraldic charges including the Snopek (Vasa sheaf) on an escutcheon at the center. The date 1611 appears divided and integrated within the legend and upper field. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by ornamental stops, reads M.D. LIT : RVSIE. PRV: MAS : SAM : LI XC, abbreviating the full titulature of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Russia, Prussia, Masovia, Samogitia, Livonia, and other dominions. A beaded inner border and laurel outer wreath frame the reverse design.
