| Obverse lettering | STEPHANVS D:G REX POLO:S |
| Reverse description | The reverse displays a four-line Latin inscription in the central field denoting the denomination and issuing authority: GROS·ARG / TRIP·REG / POLONIAE, preceded above by the Roman numeral III indicating three groszy. Flanking the numeral III are two heraldic devices: to the left, the Polish crowned eagle, and to the right, the Lithuanian Pahonia (armored knight on horseback). The date 1580 is split across the bottom line, with the Olkusz mint mark — a shield bearing a cross potent — interposed between 15 and 80. The overall composition is typical of the Bathory-era trojak coinage produced at the Olkusz mint. |
