| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned bust of King Jan III Sobieski in high relief, depicted wearing ornate armour decorated with floral motifs and a fur-trimmed mantle draped over the left shoulder. The king wears a closed royal crown and bears a distinctive moustache, rendered in a robust Baroque style characteristic of the Gdańsk mint. A beaded inner circle frames the effigy. The circular Latin legend reads IOAN III D G REX POL M D L RUS PR, distributed around the periphery within a toothed outer border. |

| Reverse description | The arms of the City of Gdańsk occupying the central field: a crowned oval cartouche bearing two crosses in pale (the traditional Gdańsk municipal arms), supported by two rampant lions facing inward, their forepaws resting on the shield. The mintmaster's initials D-L appear in the lower field flanking the cartouche base. The shield is surmounted by a floral wreath tied with a ribbon. A beaded inner circle encloses the heraldic composition, while the circular Latin legend MON AUREA CIVITAT GEDANENS runs within the toothed outer border. |
