| Obverse description | Draped bust of King John II Casimir Vasa facing right, with flowing long hair, set within a beaded or linear inner circle. The royal effigy is rendered in a crude but characteristic hammered style typical of mid-17th century Lithuanian coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, with die varieties showing abbreviations of the king's titles. The overall style reflects the provincial workmanship of the Wilno mint. |

| Reverse description | The Pahonia (Vytis) device of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania depicted as an armoured knight on horseback galloping to the right, sword raised, with a shield on the left arm. A royal crown appears above the equestrian figure. The date 1664 and a circular Latin legend abbreviating SOLIDVS MAGNVS DVCATVS LITVANIAE surround the central device. The reverse displays numerous die varieties with minor legend errors, reflecting the high-volume output of the Wilno mint. |
