| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Jan II Kazimierz Waza facing right, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The Ślepowron heraldic symbol of the mint master appears at the base of the bust, dividing the circumferential legend at approximately 6 o'clock. The portrait is rendered in the baroque style characteristic of mid-17th-century Polish coinage. The legend runs along the outer periphery in Latin script. |
