| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned bust of Sigismund I the Old within a beaded inner circle, the king depicted in armor with a draped mantle visible at the shoulder. The crown is ornate with floral finials and a prominent cross at center. The effigy is rendered in a late Gothic to early Renaissance style characteristic of the Toruń mint. A continuous Latin legend reading SIGIS I REX PO DO TOCI PRVSS runs along the outer margin, separated from the inner circle by a beaded border. |
