| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the elaborate royal cipher of Stanisław August Poniatowski — the interlaced monogram 'SAR' rendered in calligraphic script — surmounted by a royal crown with jewelled arches and cross finial. The date 1766 is divided to either side of the monogram, '17' at left and '66' at right. The rim is bordered by a fine toothed inner circle. No peripheral legend appears on this face; the design is bold and occupies the majority of the coin's surface in a restrained, Baroque manner. |

| Reverse description | Central device displays the full armorial achievement of the city of Danzig (Gdańsk): a shield charged with two crosses potent in pale on a vertically lined field, supported by two rampant lions facing inward, the whole surmounted by a mural crown. Below the shield appears the mintmaster's initials 'F.L.S.' Surrounding the central device is a circular legend reading GROSSVS TRIPLEX GEDANENSIS, separated by a six-pointed star at the top, all contained within a toothed border. The heraldic execution is crisp and typical of the Gdańsk municipal coinage of the period. |
