| Obverse description | Draped bust of Queen Christina of Sweden facing right, her hair dressed and adorned with a small crown, wearing an elaborately decorated mantle with lace collar, the effigy enclosed within a rope-edged inner circle. The surrounding legend reads in Latin, separated by punctuation marks, identifying the queen by her full royal titles. The portrait is rendered in the Baroque style characteristic of mid-17th century Swedish coinage, with fine detail in the drapery and facial features. |
