| Obverse description | The obverse features a large central text panel enclosed within a wreath of oak branches bearing acorns, tied at the base. The multi-line Latin dedicatory inscription fills the central field entirely, reading a tribute to citizens who attempted to preserve Polish liberty against the conspiracy that overthrew the Constitution of 3 May 1791. A circular outer legend runs along the periphery of the coin, partially inverted at the base, forming a continuous Latin inscription praising civic virtue. The design is executed in a bold, deeply struck relief characteristic of late 18th-century Warsaw Mint production, with no figurative imagery — the composition relying entirely on epigraphy and decorative wreath motifs. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central multi-line Latin text inscription spread across the entire field, referencing the decree of the Republic under the bond of the Confederation of Targowica, dated 5 December 1792, during the reign of Stanisław August. The peripheral legend, arranged circularly and partially inverted at the lower portion, records the fineness standard of 10 7/16 from the Cologne mark and the date 1793. No figurative design elements are present; the composition is entirely epigraphic, consistent with the obverse, reflecting the commemorative and political character of this Targowica Thaler issue. |
