| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of Sigismund III Vasa facing right, depicted in regal attire with an ornate collar and mantle, occupying the central field. The bust is rendered in the late Renaissance hammered style characteristic of the Poznań mint. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading SIGIS III DG REX PO M DL, abbreviated for Sigismundus III Dei Gratia Rex Poloniae Magnus Dux Lithuaniae. The coin border displays a beaded inner circle framing the design. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the quartered royal arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, featuring the White Eagle of Poland and the mounted Knight (Pahonia) of Lithuania in alternate quarters, surmounted by a royal crown. The Vasa dynastic sheaf device appears on an escutcheon at the center of the quartered shield. Mint-master initials appear within the field, flanking the shield. The surrounding Latin legend reads GROS REGNI POL with the date partially rendered as 97, denoting 1597, separated by rosette stops. The composition reflects the standard heraldic typology of late 16th-century Polish crown groszy. |
