| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the royal cipher of Sigismund III Vasa — an ornate interlaced 'S' monogram surmounted by a royal crown with arched bands and cross finial. The monogram is executed in a decorative Renaissance style with elaborate foliate flourishes at its base. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with a wreath border forming the outer rim. The Latin legend runs around the periphery, separated from the monogram by the beaded circle. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays two heraldic shields arranged side by side beneath a royal crown: the dexter shield bearing the Polish Eagle and the sinister shield bearing the Lithuanian Pursuer (mounted knight). The date appears in the lower field between the two shields. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the peripheral Latin legend, which identifies the denomination and issuing authority. The coin's outer rim is defined by a wreath or beaded border. |
