| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Sigismund III Vasa facing right, wearing a ruffled collar characteristic of late Renaissance court dress, his hair rendered in flowing locks beneath a jewelled royal crown. The effigy occupies the central field in a bold hammered relief typical of the Olkusz mint. A continuous Latin legend encircles the portrait, reading from the upper right and running around the full periphery of the flan. |

Below the shield the mint-master's initials I D and the Przegonia escutcheon are placed, with the date split across the lower portion of the field.
