| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of Jan II Kazimierz Waza facing right, wearing a ruffled collar, set within a beaded inner circle. The royal effigy is rendered in the baroque style characteristic of mid-17th-century Polish coinage. The surrounding Latin legend reads IOA CAS D G REX POL M D L, abbreviating the king's titles as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. |

| Reverse description | The rampant Knight of Lithuania (Pahonia) on horseback, brandishing a sword overhead, occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle. The date 1652 appears above the equestrian figure, and the denomination mark 30 is displayed in the lower field. The surrounding Latin legend, partially abbreviated, identifies this as a silver grosch of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania struck at the Wilno (Vilnius) mint, with the mintmaster's initials incorporated into the legend. |
