| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device features the Półkozic coat of arms (a crescent with a cross above), which was the heraldic device of the mint master, enclosed within a beaded oval frame. Flanking the central oval are the last two digits of the date, '25', referring to the year 1625. A patriarchal cross with an orb surmounts the entire central composition. The denomination numeral '24' (signifying 1/24 Thaler, equivalent to the półtorak denomination) appears within the central roundel. The encircling legend in Latin reads across the field, with the Bydgoszcz mint-master's mark integrated into the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The półtorak — literally "one and a half" groszy — was introduced under Sigismund III Vasa as a response to chronic small-denomination shortages across the Commonwealth, but the type quickly became a source of diplomatic friction. Swedish, Brandenburgian, and Silesian mints flooded Polish markets with debased imitations, and by the 1620s distinguishing genuine Commonwealth issues from foreign counterfeits had become a practical headache for merchants and mint authorities alike. Sigismund's administration repeatedly petitioned for stricter border controls on imported coinage.
Bydgoszcz was among the most active mints striking this denomination through the early 1620s, with output peaking during years of heaviest military expenditure against Sweden during the Polish-Swedish War.
