| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a large Gothic capital letter 'A' surmounted by a small crown is depicted centrally, flanked on either side by a small annulet, all set within the inner field. The composition references the city of Åbo (Turku), the mint of issue. A surrounding legend in uncial lettering reading MONETA ABOENS runs along the outer margin between the beaded circle and the coin's irregular hammered rim, identifying this as coinage struck at the Turku mint. |
