Obverse description Central field displays the crossed royal regalia of Poland — a sceptre and an orb-topped cross — arranged saltirewise beneath a large royal crown, symbolising the interregnum period between Polish monarchs. Below the crossed implements rests an orb surmounted by a cross. Flanking the central composition on either side are the supporters of the Toruń civic arms, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The date 1 6 3 2 is inscribed in two pairs of numerals on either side of the crossed regalia. The encircling Latin legend DEVS PROVIDEBIT ('God will provide') arches across the upper periphery in bold raised lettering within a beaded inner border.
