| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large crowned royal monogram 'S' (for Sigismundus) rendered in an ornate interlaced Gothic style, surmounted by a royal crown. Decorative foliate or scroll elements flank the monogram within the field. A small rosette or pellet ornament is visible to the left of the monogram. The coin has no peripheral legend, with the design filling the flan in the characteristic style of hammered small silver denominations of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field divided into two semicircular compartments by a horizontal arc or bow motif, surmounted by a royal crown at the top. The lower compartment displays two confronted heraldic eagles or lion-like figures in a symmetrical arrangement, characteristic of the Polish royal arms. The upper compartment beneath the crown features floral or foliate decoration. The composition is tightly rendered with no peripheral legend, consistent with hammered denar coinage of the Kraków mint under Sigismund III Vasa. |
