| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of John II Casimir Vasa facing right, set within an ornate wreath of oak leaves and acorns that frames the central field. The king is depicted in the Baroque manner, with flowing hair beneath the laurel wreath, characteristic of mid-17th-century Polish ducats. The mintmaster's initials TLB appear in the lower central field beneath the bust, within the wreath. The circular Latin legend runs along the outer rim, partially obscured by the wreath borders: IOAN. CASI. D: G. REX. POLO. &. SVE TLB. |

| Reverse description | The crowned Vytis (Pahonia), the armorial device of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, depicted as an armored knight on horseback galloping to the right, sword raised, set centrally within an elaborate wreath of oak leaves and acorns. Beneath the horse, the mintmaster's mark or auxiliary symbol is visible in the lower field. A royal crown surmounts the Vytis above. The circular Latin legend around the outer rim reads MON. AVRE. MAG. DUC. LIT. 1666, identifying this as the gold coinage of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania with the date 1666. |
