| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts the Vytis (Pogon), the mounted knight of Lithuania, shown as an armored equestrian figure galloping to the right, bearing a sword raised above his head and a shield on his left arm. Below the horse, the date is struck in Arabic numerals reading '1558'. The composition fills the irregular flan entirely, with no border legend, the date positioned in the lower field beneath the horse's hooves. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Lithuanian denier occupies an awkward place in the monetary union that followed the Union of Lublin in 1569 — nominally integrated into a shared Polish-Lithuanian currency system, yet struck at Wilno with distinct Lithuanian heraldry and continuing on its own accounting track. Sigismund Augustus was the last Jagiellon, and the prolonged date range on these pieces reflects not continuous minting but the political difficulty of rationalizing two separate treasury systems under one crown.
The billon content of these small pieces declined progressively through the reign, a known degradation the Wilno mint pursued well ahead of any official authorization from the sejm.
