| Obverse description | Crowned and armored bust of King John II Casimir Vasa facing right, depicted with long curling hair and wearing an elaborate lace collar and decorated breastplate with royal insignia. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine baroque detailing characteristic of mid-17th century Polish medallic art. A Latin legend surrounds the portrait, reading IOAN CAS D G REX POL ET SVE M D L R P, abbreviated titulature identifying the king as ruler of Poland, Sweden, and Grand Duke of Lithuania. The field is broad and slightly convex, with a beaded inner border separating the effigy from the legend. |
