| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Gustav II Adolf facing left, wearing armor with a ruffled collar, occupying the central field within a beaded inner border. Above the king's head, a radiant sunburst device encloses the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (YHWH) in a cartouche, symbolizing divine authority. The date 1617 appears at the bottom of the field, flanked by decorative foliate ornaments. The circumferential Latin legend reads GVSTAVVS . A DOLPHVS . REX, distributed around the outer border. The portrait is rendered in a bold early Baroque style characteristic of Swedish hammered coinage of the period. |
