| Obverse description | Central field features the interlaced royal cypher 'AF' (for Adolf Fredrik) in large, bold letters surmounted by a Swedish royal crown. The date 1763 appears in the lower exergue beneath the monogram. A circular legend runs along the coin's periphery, reading K·S·P·L·M· (abbreviation for König von Schweden, Prinz von Pommern, Landgraf, etc.), separated by pellets. The overall design is characteristic of mid-18th century Swedish provincial coinage, with the crowned monogram serving as the principal device. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a five-line German-language inscription occupying the central field within a beaded inner circle, detailing the coin's denomination and the monetary standard to which it was struck. The surrounding legend references the Leipzig Monetary Convention of 1690, affirming the coin's standard of 48 pieces to one Reichsthaler. The mintmaster's initials appear at the conclusion of the legend, identifying the responsible official. The layout is characteristic of small-denomination German-area coinage of the period, with the entire reverse devoted to textual denomination and standard information rather than figurative imagery. |
