| Reverse description | Elaborately composed heraldic reverse featuring the large crowned quartered arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at center, incorporating the Polish Eagle, Lithuanian Pahonia (mounted knight), and the Vasa dynastic shield, surmounted by a royal crown of pronounced baroque form. Two allegorical female figures flank the central achievement as supporters, the left figure seated and holding a trident-crowned orb, the right draped figure holding a scepter, both rendered with fine sculptural detail. A putto or cherub appears in the lower left field. The date 15-95 is divided by the crowned arms within the circular Latin legend CRESCIT GEMINATIS GLORIA CVRIS, meaning 'Glory grows with redoubled cares,' a humanist motto appropriate to royal propaganda. |
