The portal of the collegiate church in Łęczyca with the throne scene. The prince sits on his throne with a sword in his lap, a symbol of justice. The wrapped sword is a document symbolizing the break with the principle of "seniority". The prince is accompanied by a bishop and a knight. The eagle of AQVILA above the stage. Next to the eagle, there is a cross and the sun to symbolize the blossoming of the Catholic faith. On the left, the figure of Kazimierz carrying a model of the church, and the inscription, on the right, the city gate through which Kazimierz enters. A pearl ring with three griffins (sacred decorations at that time). At the bottom, the name of the issuer, year, and the series.
