| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of King Carl XI facing left, rendered in high relief with detailed flowing hair and elaborate armour with decorative shoulder pauldron. The effigy is boldly executed in a baroque portrait style typical of late 17th-century Swedish coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, separated from the field by an inner border. The portrait closely follows the engraving conventions of the Stockholm Mint during the reign of Charles XI. |

| Reverse description | A crowned double-C royal monogram of Carl XI occupies the center of the field, flanked by three Swedish crowns arranged in the field. The regnal date appears below the monogram. The entire central design is enclosed within a circle of legend bearing the royal motto in Latin. The composition is characteristic of Swedish ducats of this period, combining dynastic symbolism with heraldic elements in a balanced baroque arrangement. |
