| Obverse description | Central field displays a royal crown in high relief, rendered in Gothic style with three fleurs-de-lis finials and beaded base, enclosed within a raised inner circle with beaded border. The surrounding annular legend, initiated by a floral ornament (rosette), runs clockwise in uncial Latin script. The overall composition is characteristic of early sixteenth-century Swedish hammered billon coinage under Gustav Vasa. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a large italic capital letter 'A', with or without small circlets flanking its sides, set within a raised inner circle with beaded border. A circumscribed legend in uncial Latin script surrounds the inner circle, with the mint name and date (when present) appearing at the close of the inscription. A floral ornament (rosette) serves as the initial mark, consistent with the Västerås mint's production under Gustav Vasa. |
