| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of Sigismund III Vasa facing right, wearing an ornate royal crown and a ruffled collar, with a short beard rendered in fine detail. The effigy is depicted in high relief with curly hair visible beneath the crown, characteristic of late 16th-century Polish hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend runs around the periphery of the field, interrupted by the bust. The portrait displays the bold, somewhat stylized artistic conventions typical of the Wilno mint workshops of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central composition features the crowned arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania — the Pahonia (mounted knight) — flanked by decorative foliate branches, with a crowned shield prominently displayed in the upper field. Below the central heraldic device, the denomination and mint authority are inscribed in three lines across the field, followed by the split date. The reverse layout is typical of Lithuanian-mint trojaks of Sigismund III, with the date divided by a vertical mintmaster's mark or symbol between the two halves of the year. |
