| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the royal cypher of Sigismund III Vasa, rendered as an ornate interlaced 'S' monogram surmounted by a small crown, with the date split to either side: '15' at the left and '96' at the right. The Roman numeral 'III' denoting the denomination appears prominently at the top of the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the coin's irregular flan edge characteristic of hammered production. Decorative foliate or pellet ornaments accompany the monogram in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth: the Polish White Eagle in the upper-left and lower-right quarters, and the Lithuanian Pursuer (Pogon) in the upper-right and lower-left quarters, with a small inescutcheon at the base bearing the Vasa dynastic arms (sheaf of grain). The entire shield is surmounted by a large royal crown with prominent cross finial. The composition is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of the late 16th-century Malbork mint, with no surrounding legend on this denomination. |
