| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the large royal cipher of Sigismund II Augustus — an interlaced monogram of the letters S and A surmounted by an elaborate open crown with floral finials. The date 1564 is divided to either side of the monogram, with '15' to the left and '64' to the right. At the base of the field, the Roman numeral denomination XXX (thirty groszy) is inscribed. The entire design is encircled by a wreath border of stylised arrow-head or leaf motifs, characteristic of Lithuanian coinage of the Jagiellonian period. |
