| Obverse description | Crowned royal cipher of Sigismund III Vasa, composed of an ornate interlaced Gothic 'S' monogram beneath a royal crown, occupying the central field. The date is split on either side of the monogram, with the first two digits to the left and the last two digits to the right of the cipher. The flan is irregular and the strike typical of hammered small silver coinage of the period. |

Below the horse, the Wadwicz coat of arms (a double cross) flanked by two six-pointed stars, serving as the mintmaster's mark. The composition fills the entire field of the small, irregularly shaped flan. |
