| Reverse description | The reverse displays a five-line Latin inscription AUREUS / NUMMUS / POLONIAE / ANNO / 1783 (date varies by year of issue), meaning 'Gold Coin of Poland, in the year...', all contained within a finely rendered open olive or laurel wreath tied at the base with a bow. The mintmaster's initials E.B. (Eliasz Benzel) appear below the wreath at the bottom of the field. The design is elegant and restrained, consistent with the neoclassical aesthetic promoted during the reign of Stanisław August Poniatowski. |
