| Obverse description | This large copper plate money (plåtmynt) bears five applied stamps: four corner stamps and one central stamp. Each corner stamp displays the royal legend CAROLUS·XII·D:G:SVE:GOT:WAN:REX· with the date 1710 encircling a crowned royal cypher, struck into the surface of the irregular square copper plate. The central stamp denotes the denomination, reading *1* DALER Sölff:Mÿf flanked by a star device, indicating one Daler Silvermynt. The plate itself is of characteristic Swedish plåtmynt form, with bevelled corners and an uneven, heavily textured field typical of hand-cast copper blanks of the early eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this copper plate money is plain and unadorned, presenting the raw, irregular surface of the cast copper blank. No stamps or legends appear on this face, consistent with standard Swedish plåtmynt production practice, in which all stamps are applied exclusively to the obverse. The surface retains its characteristic textured, slightly convex profile resulting from the casting and rolling process used at the Swedish mint in the early eighteenth century. |
