| Reverse description | A large upright sword with an ornate crossguard featuring globular quillon terminals and a floral rosette at the centre of the guard dominates the field, its point directed upward and its pommel tapering to a drop shape at the base. A small mint mark or engraver's symbol appears below the pommel near the lower field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a wreath-bordered outer band carrying the circumferential Latin legend PRO IVRE ET POPVLO with the date 1587 distributed around the left arc. The motto, meaning 'For Law and the People', reflects the political circumstances of Sigismund III's contested election to the Polish throne. |
