| Obverse description | Crowned and bearded bust of King Johan III facing right, wearing a ruffled collar and royal robes, rendered in a bold hammered style typical of late 16th-century Swedish coinage. The crown is surmounted by a cross. A partial legend in Latin is divided on either side of the royal effigy, with REX to the left and IOHA to the right, separated by pellet stops. The field is unadorned, and the coin exhibits an irregular flan edge characteristic of hand-hammered production. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting a standing armored figure, likely Saint Erik, the patron saint of Sweden, holding a cross-scepter, surmounted by a royal crown. The last two digits of the date, 75 (for 1575), appear in the field flanking the central figure. The surrounding circular legend reads MONETA NOVA STOKHO, referencing the Stockholm Mint, separated by a pellet stop, and is enclosed within a beaded or rope-like inner border. The overall layout and style are consistent with Swedish hammered coinage of the Johan III period. |
