Reverse description Crowned eagle of the Polish Crown displayed in the centre of the field, with wings spread and a shield bearing the Vasa sheaf (Snopek) on its breast, serving as the dynastic arms of the ruling house. The eagle is rendered in a bold if somewhat rough hammered style consistent with the small copper szeląg denomination. A circular Latin legend surrounding the eagle references the solidus of the Polish kingdom along with the date 1661, appearing in numerous die varieties with differing abbreviations and word breaks. The mint mark for the Kraków mint appears in the legend or exergue area depending on the die variety.
