| Reverse description | Mounted knight (Pahonia) advancing to the left on horseback, brandishing a raised sword and bearing a shield, the traditional heraldic symbol of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the date appearing below the horse. The circular Latin legend is interrupted after the word MAGNI by the Topor armorial charge — a stylized hook or axe — serving as a mint or die-cutter's mark. The overall composition is typical of Lithuanian half-groat coinage struck under Sigismund II Augustus at the Vilnius mint. |
