| Obverse description | Crowned bust of King John II Casimir Vasa facing right, wearing a regal crown and royal robes, depicted in a stylized baroque manner typical of Polish hammered gold coinage of the mid-17th century. The effigy occupies the central field, with a Latin legend encircling the portrait along the periphery. The portrait shows fine detail in the crown and facial features despite the small flan. |
