| Obverse description | Armored bust of King John II Casimir Vasa facing right, wearing a cuirass with decorative pauldron and a flowing mantle, his long curly hair falling to the shoulder. A palm frond is visible rising behind his head, an attribute associated with royal dignity in Baroque Polish coinage. The circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, divided on either side of the bust, with a toothed border encircling the entire field. |

The mint mark 'MW' (for Wschowa mint master) appears at the base of the shield, with the date 1654 placed in the upper field flanking the crown. The circular Latin legend reads around the periphery within a toothed border. |
