| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of Sigismund III Vasa facing right, rendered in low relief in the hammered style typical of late 16th-century Polish coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading the king's royal titles. The portrait is framed by a plain inner circle, with the legend occupying the outer field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central heraldic composition arranged in two horizontal registers. In the upper register, the Roman numeral III (denomination) appears above a crowned shield bearing the Vasa arms (sheaf), flanked to the left by the Polish eagle and to the right by the Lithuanian mounted knight (Pahonia). In the lower register, a two-line inscription reading GROS ARG / TRI R PO occupies the field, with the two-digit date (e.g. 99 for 1599) flanking the Lewart (Borzuja) arms shield, accompanied by the Bydgoszcz mint mark B. The overall design is characteristic of the Polish trojak series struck under Sigismund III Vasa. |
