| Obverse description | Draped and laureate bust of Carl XI facing right, portrayed with flowing curled hair, set within a beaded inner circle. The royal effigy is rendered in high relief in the baroque portrait style typical of late 17th-century Swedish coinage. The circumferential legend in Latin runs along the outer border of the coin. |
