| 正面铭文 | Corner stamps: 1718. Centre stamp: 1/2 D S |
| 背面描述 | The reverse of this copper plate money issue is entirely plain and uninscribed, presenting a flat, unworked copper surface. As was standard for Swedish plåtmynt, the reverse received no intentional die impressions, its surface retaining the natural texture of the hammered and rolled copper sheet. The reverse thus serves purely as the structural foundation of the plate, with all numismatic information conveyed exclusively on the obverse. |

Charles XII's emergency "plate money" coinage of 1718 was born from military desperation. Sweden's treasury was gutted by the Great Northern War, and copper plate currency — already a Swedish specialty since the 1640s — became the state's instrument of last resort. The Type IV designation distinguishes this issue from earlier Charles XII plate types by its specific corner stamp configuration, a detail that mattered to the clerks processing tax payments and soldier wages far more than to the soldiers receiving them.
Charles XII died at the siege of Frederiksten in November 1718, the same year this piece was struck.
