| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing bust of King Stanisław August Poniatowski occupying the majority of the obverse field, rendered in a naturalistic Baroque style with elaborately curled periwig falling to the shoulder. The portrait is of high artistic quality, with carefully engraved facial features and flowing locks. A circular Latin legend reads along the periphery, separated from the bust by a narrow plain border. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a crucible or assay cup set upon a horizontal ground line, with flames rising from within, alongside an assayer's blowpipe tool — a composition emblematic of the minting trial and metallurgical testing process. The Latin legend arcs across the upper periphery, reading PROBATUS MELIOR, meaning 'tested and improved' or 'approved as better,' a direct reference to the coin's status as an official pattern or trial piece. The date 1771 is inscribed in the lower exergue in Roman-influenced numerals, separated from the central device by a plain horizontal line. |
