| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of King Stanisław August Poniatowski facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curled hair and period court attire visible at the truncation. The effigy is centrally positioned within a broad flat field. A circular Latin legend reads STANISLAUS AUGUST. D. G. REX POL. M.D.L., denoting his title as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania by the grace of God, running along the inner border of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a right-facing human hand and forearm, cuffed in period dress, pressing or testing a coin or stone upon a flat assay tablet or touchstone, symbolising the act of assaying or proving metal — an allusion to the motto and the monetary reform context. The upper portion of the field is largely plain, with the arc Latin motto EXPERTUS CREDIT arching along the upper periphery, meaning 'the one who has tested it believes.' The date 1771 is inscribed in the lower exergue below the central device. |
