| Obverse description | Draped bust of Karl X Gustav facing right, depicted with long flowing hair falling to the shoulder, wearing armor with ornate detailing. The effigy is rendered in a bold, high-relief baroque style characteristic of mid-17th century Swedish coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the portrait. The circular Latin legend reads CAROLUS.GUSTAF·X·D:G:SVE:GO:VA:REX, identifying the king by name and title as ruler of the Swedes, Goths, and Wends. |
