| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned royal cypher of Jan II Kazimierz Waza, composed of interlaced letters beneath a regal crown. The date 16-52 is divided and flanked to either side of the cypher. The design is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of mid-17th-century Polish-Lithuanian coinage, with a beaded or rope border encircling the field. |
