| Obverse description | Armored half-length effigy of Władysław IV Vasa facing right, wearing a closed royal crown and elaborate plate armor with a ruff collar, holding a scepter over his right shoulder. The king's bust is rendered in high relief in the Baroque style typical of early 17th-century Polish coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait within a beaded inner border, reading the king's royal titles. The mint mark of Bydgoszcz appears in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | Elaborately quartered royal coat of arms of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, surmounted by a large ornate crown, set within a baroque cartouche. The shield displays the quarters of Poland (white eagle), Lithuania (Pahonia knight), and the Vasa dynastic arms (sheaf/Garb), along with Sweden's three crowns, reflecting Władysław IV's dynastic claims. The date appears divided in the lower field on either side of the shield. A continuous Latin legend encircles the entire composition within a beaded border, enumerating the king's titles and territorial claims. |
