| Obverse description | This Swedish copper plate money (plåtmynt) bears five applied stamps on a large, roughly square cast copper flan. Each of the four corner stamps features a crowned royal cypher within a beaded circular border, surrounding the legend identifying Charles XI as king of the Swedes, Goths, and Wends, with the regnal date incorporated into the design. The central stamp, applied separately, displays the denomination '1 DALER' above the abbreviated mintmark for Silvermynt, serving as the primary value indicator for the issue. The overall surface of the plate exhibits the characteristic irregular casting texture and uneven edges typical of Swedish plåtmynt production of the seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this copper plate money is entirely plain and unadorned, consisting of the smooth, flat underside of the cast copper flan with no stamps, inscriptions, or devices of any kind. This is characteristic of all Swedish plåtmynt, where all identifying stamps are applied exclusively to the obverse face. The surface shows natural casting marks, patination, and minor irregularities consistent with the manufacturing process of the period. |
