| Obverse description | The plate money (plåtmynt) bears five applied stamps struck into the flat copper surface: four identical corner stamps, each depicting the crowned royal cypher of King Charles XII (Karl XII) enclosing the interlaced monogram, flanking a two-part date, and a central stamp consisting of the denomination legend '1/2 DALER SM' enclosed within a square border with reeded or engine-turned outline. The irregular rectangular copper plate, characteristic of Swedish plåtmynt production, shows the natural surface distortion and patination typical of heavily circulated large-denomination copper currency of the early eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this copper plate money is plain and unstruck, presenting the raw hammered copper surface of the plate with no applied stamps or inscriptions. The surface exhibits the characteristic irregular texture, flow lines, and natural oxidation patination consistent with Swedish plåtmynt of the early eighteenth century. |
