| Obverse description | This Swedish copper plate money (plåtmynt) bears five applied stamps: four identical corner stamps, each featuring the crowned royal monogram of Queen Ulrika Eleonora flanking the divided date, and a central stamp depicting the denomination inscription above a pair of crossed arrows, the traditional symbol of the Swedish mining and coinage authority. The plate itself is a large, irregularly rectangular slab of hammered copper with chamfered corners, typical of the Swedish plate money series. The stamps are applied by hand dies, resulting in slight variations in impression depth and alignment across the surface. The obverse lettering reads 'I DALER SILF:MYNT' on the central stamp, with the regnal year divided across the corner stamps. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this copper plate money presents the plain, unworked surface of the hammered copper slab, showing the natural texture and patina of the metal. As is characteristic of all Swedish plåtmynt, the reverse bears no additional stamps or inscriptions, serving purely as the structural base for the obverse die impressions. The surface exhibits the irregular tooling marks, flow lines, and oxidation typical of hand-worked copper plate coinage of the early eighteenth century. |
