Obverse

Long legend, eagle at bottom, mint mark (The medal’s reverse reads (in translation): 
The son of Casmir, duke of Kuyavia, three times banished; when he returned to 
his motherland he united and merged the dispersed parts of the state. He died A.D. 1333, aged 73, having ruled for 13 years, 
on 2 March.)

Reverse

Crowned bust right (The portrait by Marcello Bacciarelli, which served as the model for the medal by Jan Filip Holzhaeusser, shows the 
king’s bust. His features were most likely modelled on his tomb in the Wawel cathedral. The king is wearing a helmet 
with chain mail and a tassel as well as rich Reiter armour (although it was anachronous as it was used only in the 17th 
centur y))

Edge

Plain with inscription
