| Obverse description | Crowned and bearded bust of Sigismund II Augustus in right profile, wearing a crown with cross finials and draped in armour with a decorated collar visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in a bold, slightly rustic hammered style typical of mid-16th century Lithuanian coinage. The surrounding legend in Latin reads along the coin's periphery, with the abbreviation MDL (Magnus Ducatus Lithuaniae) visible to the left of the bust. |
