| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts a pelican in her piety, shown in high relief feeding her young nestlings from a wound in her breast, a traditional emblem of self-sacrifice and royal virtue. The scene is set amid stylised waves or foliage at the base, with a small orb or sun disc visible above the bird's head. The Latin motto NON TIMET — meaning 'she does not fear' — arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised capitals. The date 1771 is inscribed in the lower exergue below a horizontal line, completing the composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The early 1770s were catastrophic for the Commonwealth's monetary system. Counterfeiting of small silver denominations had become so entrenched — much of it state-sponsored by Prussia — that Poniatowski's treasury was fighting a losing battle against its own currency. The dwugrosz issues of this period were repeatedly redesigned and restruck in attempts to stay ahead of Prussian forgeries that flooded Polish markets throughout the 1760s and into the 1770s.
The KM#Pn94 designation suggests pattern or provisional status for this specific die pairing, worth cross-referencing against Kopicki 2327 before attributing with confidence.
