| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Jan III Sobieski facing right, depicted in Roman imperial style with a laurel wreath adorning his hair and an armored, draped pauldron visible at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features, including a prominent mustache characteristic of the king's known portraiture. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading IOAN:III D:G: REX POL M:D:LIT PR:PR, abbreviating his royal titles as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. |
