| Obverse description | Flat rectangular copper plate of irregular outline, struck with five applied stamps: a central stamp bearing the denomination '1/2 DALER SILF · MYN' inscribed on three lines above a pair of crossed arrows, the heraldic symbol of the Swedish mining authority. Four corner stamps each display the crowned royal cypher 'FRS' (Fridericus Rex Sueciae) with the regnal year below, affirming the authority of King Frederick I. The plate surface exhibits the characteristic uneven texture and patina of cast copper planchet production, typical of Swedish plåtmynt coinage of the early eighteenth century. |

| Obverse lettering | 1/2 DALER SILF · MYN FRS 1727 (Translation: Frederick king of Sweden) |
| Reverse description | Plain, unadorned copper surface exhibiting the natural texture of the cast planchet, with no applied stamps or inscriptions. The reverse of Swedish plate money (plåtmynt) was characteristically left blank, as all identifying and authorizing information was concentrated on the obverse through the stamping process. Minor surface irregularities and flow lines from casting are visible across the field. |
