| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a crowned royal orb or cross motif, consistent with early Vasa-period devotional imagery. The surrounding Latin legend PRO TEGE NOS IESV — meaning 'Protect us, Jesus' — encircles the design, invoking divine protection and reflecting the strongly Lutheran-influenced religious sentiment of Gustav Vasa's reign. The lettering follows the Gothic script convention prevalent in Swedish numismatics of the 1520s. The strike, typical of hammered technique, shows variable depth and slight irregularity in the flan. The reverse composition is simple and devout in character, in keeping with the propagandistic and religious tenor of early Vasa coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gustav Vasa struck this issue in 1522 while still fighting to consolidate control over Sweden — the Battle of Uppsala that year was among the conflicts still unsettled when these coins entered circulation. The gyllen denomination itself was borrowed directly from the Rhineland gulden tradition, an attempt to anchor Swedish currency to a familiar northwest European standard at a moment when the kingdom had no established monetary infrastructure of its own.
As KM#1, this is catalogued as the first coin of the Swedish kingdom proper, following the dissolution of the Kalmar Union.
