| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the royal cipher of Jan II Kazimierz Waza, composed of the interlaced monogram ICR (Ioannes Casimirus Rex) rendered in bold relief. The monogram is surmounted by a royal crown with visible arches and fleurons. The field is plain and unadorned, with no surrounding legend, typical of the boratynki copper coinage of the mid-17th century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a four-line Latin inscription filling the field, reading SOLID / REGNI / POLON / 1650, denoting the denomination and issuing kingdom. The lettering is rendered in bold upright Roman capitals with interpuncts separating elements. The date 1650 appears in the lower portion of the field. The overall composition is stark and utilitarian, consistent with the emergency copper coinage (boratynki) issued under Jan II Kazimierz. |
