| Aversbeschreibung | Large rectangular copper plate struck with five stamps: one central stamp and four corner stamps. Each corner stamp bears the royal legend CAROLUS·XII·D:G:SVE:GOT:WAN:REX· encircling a crowned royal cypher or date, applied individually at each corner of the plate. The central stamp depicts the denomination and value inscription within a circular frame, featuring a pair of crossed arrows below the value numeral, identifying the plate's monetary worth. The overall surface of the plate displays the characteristic rough, cast texture of Swedish plate money (plåtmynt), with natural irregularities along the edges consistent with the production method of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Sweden's plate money — plåtmynt — was among the most impractical currency ever issued by a functioning state. These massive copper slabs circulated as a direct consequence of Sweden's chronic silver shortage, with face value tied to copper weight rather than precious metal content. By 1710, Charles XII was deep in the Great Northern War, his treasury gutted and his army stranded after the catastrophic defeat at Poltava the previous year. Copper plate coinage continued not because it worked well, but because there was nothing else.
The Type I designation distinguishes the earlier crown stamps used during this period before subsequent punch modifications.
