| Obverse description | Unadorned right-facing bust of Gustav IV Adolf, depicted as a young prince with flowing, loosely curled hair falling to the shoulder in the late Baroque manner. The effigy is rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail in the hair and facial features. The circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, reading GUSTAF IV ADOLPH SV • G • OCH W • K •, denoting his titles as King of Sweden, of the Goths and the Wends. The field is flat and unadorned, allowing the portrait to dominate the flan. |
