| Obverse description | A large gothic initial 'S', the royal cypher of Sigismund, occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle. The letter is rendered in a bold, calligraphic style characteristic of late 16th-century Swedish hammered coinage. A Latin circular legend, separated from the inner circle by the beaded border, surrounds the device and is punctuated by cross stops. |

| Reverse description | The Swedish royal crown is depicted in the central field, rendered in a stylised heraldic form with fleurs-de-lis and arched elements rising from a band, all contained within a beaded inner circle. A Latin circular legend surrounds the inner circle, incorporating the mint date at its conclusion and punctuated by cross stops. The overall design is typical of the small denomination hammered billon coinage produced during the brief reign of Sigismund in Sweden. |
