| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of King Stanisław August Poniatowski occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with naturalistically styled long flowing hair tied at the nape. The effigy, engraved by Jan Filip Holzhaeusser, displays fine neoclassical workmanship characteristic of late 18th-century Polish coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait reading STANISLAUS AUG. D.G. REX POL. M.D.L., abbreviating the king's full royal titulature as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. The legend is set close to the toothed border, with no inner beaded circle. The field is smooth and unadorned, directing full attention to the royal effigy. |

| Reverse description | Central device features the elaborate crowned quartered arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth surmounted by a royal crown with cross finial, incorporating the White Eagle of Poland, the Pursuer (Pahonia) of Lithuania, the Ciołek bull's head of the Poniatowski family, and the White Knight of Lithuania, all enclosed within a baroque cartouche shield. The date 1792 appears divided across the field to either side of the shield, with the mint-master initials E.B. (Eliasz Beniamin Mützell) placed below the escutcheon. The circular reverse legend reads 41 3/4 EX MARCA PURA COLON. indicating the fineness and weight standard, with the denomination 8 GR. inscribed at the base beneath the arms. The overall composition reflects the high-quality die engraving typical of the Warsaw Mint under Holzhaeusser. |
