| Obverse description | Crowned, armored bust of King Władysław IV Vasa facing right, depicted in high relief with long flowing hair and a short beard, wearing an elaborately decorated breastplate with chainmail gorget. The king's crown is of the open Polish royal type, richly ornamented with pearls and crosses. The effigy is set within a plain inner circle, with a rope-beaded border separating it from the outer legend. The circumferential Latin legend reads: VLAD IIII D G REX POL ET SVEC M D LITV RVSS PRVSS. |

| Reverse description | The crowned arms of Gdańsk (Danzig) displayed on an oval shield at center, featuring two silver crosses on a red field — the upper cross of St. George and the lower cross pattée — surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is supported on either side by two rampant lions facing inward, each grasping the shield. Above the achievement, a decorative spray of foliage and fruit serves as a crest. The mintmaster's initials G-R appear in the lower field flanking the date, with the year of issue (e.g. 1639) displayed in a cartouche at the bottom. The circumferential Latin legend reads: MONETA ARGENTEA CIVITATIS GEDANENSIS. |
