| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of King Stanisław August Poniatowski facing right, rendered in a neoclassical style with fine portrait detail. The king's hair is shown loosely tied at the nape in the contemporary fashion. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading STANISLAUS AUG. D. G. REX POL. M. D. L., identifying the monarch as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania by the Grace of God. The portrait is centrally placed within a plain field, characteristic of Warsaw Mint pattern coinage of the period. |
