| Obverse description | Crowned frontal bust of King Casimir III the Great depicted in regal attire, facing the viewer, set within a beaded inner circle. The king's crown is prominently rendered in the Gothic style, with visible fleur-de-lis finials. The figure is shown from the waist up in a schematic, medieval artistic convention typical of 14th-century Polish coinage. The surrounding field between the inner beaded circle and the outer border carries the uncial Latin legend MONETA KAZMIRI. |

The eagle, symbol of the Piast dynasty and the Kingdom of Poland, is depicted with spread wings and turned head, facing heraldically to the right. The crown above the eagle's head mirrors the Gothic style found on the obverse. The surrounding field between the inner beaded circle and the outer border carries the uncial Latin legend REGIS POLONIE, completing the royal titulature. |
