| Obverse description | Crowned bust of King Stefan Batory facing right, depicted in profile with a short beard and draped in armor with a visible collar. The effigy is rendered in a bold, somewhat stylized hammered relief characteristic of late 16th-century Polish coinage. Surrounding the portrait, a circular Latin legend reads STEPHANVS D:G REX POLO:S, identifying the ruler as Stephen, by the Grace of God King of Poland. Dot stops separate the abbreviated words within the legend. The overall design occupies the full field with minimal border ornamentation. |

| 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. |
