| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned royal cypher of Jan II Kazimierz Waza, composed of intertwined monogram letters beneath a regal crown, all set within an inner beaded circle. The hammered flan exhibits the characteristic irregular outline typical of mid-17th century Polish billon coinage. The circumferential Latin legend reads IOAN CAS REX, identifying the issuing monarch. The design is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude relief consistent with the workmanship of the Wilno Mint during this period. Visible patination of green and brown tones attests to the coin's age and billon composition. |
