| Reverse description | The reverse displays a three-line inscription in bold capital letters reading SOLID. / CIVTAT. / GEDAN., identifying this as a solidus (schilling) of the City of Gdańsk. Below the inscription, the mint master's initials W and G flank a central symbol, likely an anchor or city arms mark, all contained within a beaded border. Small trefoil or clover ornaments appear above the legend at the top of the field. The lettering is characteristic of mid-18th century Polish municipal coinage. |
