| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of King Sigismund III Vasa facing right, depicted in regal attire. The royal effigy fills the central field, with the circumferential Latin legend running along the coin's periphery. The portrait reflects the characteristic late-type die style associated with the Kraków mint production of this series. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays the Roman numeral III (denoting the denomination of 3 grosze) above a composite heraldic arrangement comprising the Polish eagle, the Vasa dynastic arms (sheaf), and the Lithuanian Vytis (mounted knight), with the date split across the sides of the shield. Below the heraldic group, the Sas clan arms of the mint master appear as a mintmaster's mark. The denomination legend is inscribed in three lines across the lower field: GROS·ARGE / TRIP·REGN / POLONI, representing the abbreviated Latin inscription Grossus Argenteus Triplex Regni Poloniae (Triple Silver Groschen of the Kingdom of Poland). A decorative mintmaster's mark punctuates the base of the design. |
