| Reverse description | Two conjoined shields surmounted by a royal crown occupy the central field. The left shield bears the Pahonia (mounted knight), the armorial device of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, while the right shield displays the arms of Vilnius — a fortified tower or castle. Below the shields, the Roman numeral denomination IIII identifies the piece as a four-groat coin. The encircling Latin legend MONETA MAGNI DVCAT LITVA, together with the date 1569, proclaims this as the coinage of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. |
