| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King John II Casimir Vasa facing right, rendered in low relief with flowing hair beneath a laurel wreath. The royal portrait occupies the central field, surrounded by a continuous Latin legend along the periphery. A fine beaded border frames the entire design. The portrait style is characteristic of mid-17th century Polish coinage, with naturalistic facial features and detailed drapery at the shoulder. |

| Reverse description | A crowned Polish eagle displayed in the center of the field, wings spread, with a shield on its breast bearing the Ślepowron (Corvus) heraldic arms of the mint lessee. The eagle is surrounded by foliate or scroll ornaments filling the field. The date 1665 appears within the legend, which is divided by the central device. A beaded border runs along the coin's rim. The overall composition is dense and typical of small-denomination copper schillings struck under John II Casimir. |
