| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the crowned Polish eagle displayed, with wings spread and a small escutcheon on its breast bearing the Vasa dynastic arms (a sheaf). The eagle is rendered in the late Renaissance hammered style typical of the Kraków mint. A beaded inner border frames the central device, with the Latin circumscription SIGIS III D G REX P M D L (Sigismundus III Dei Gratia Rex Poloniae Magnus Dux Lithuaniae) running along the outer rim, interrupted by small ornamental stops. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a large, ornately rendered royal crown with elaborate scrollwork and a prominent fleur-de-lis finial, all contained within a beaded inner border. The Latin legend MONE NO REG POLON (Moneta Nova Regni Poloniae) encircles the design along the outer rim, with the date 1620 incorporated into the legend at the top of the coin. The bold, stylised crown dominates the flan and is characteristic of the small-denomination coinage struck at Kraków during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa. |
