| Obverse description | Crowned and armoured bust of King Stefan Batory facing right, wearing a closed royal crown with prominent fleurs-de-lis and an ornate ruffled collar with plate armour visible at the truncation. The king bears a short beard and moustache, rendered in a bold Renaissance portrait style. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, separated from the inner field by a rope-twist border. The legend reads STEPHAN D: G: REX POL D: PRVSS, abbreviated titles proclaiming him King of Poland and Lord of Prussia. |
