| Obverse description | Full-length facing effigy of King Gustav Vasa standing in regal attire, wearing an open crown, draped in a long mantle or royal robe, holding a sceptre in his right hand and an orb or sword in his left. The figure stands upon a heraldic shield at the base of the field. The portrait is rendered in the bold, archaic hammered style characteristic of early sixteenth-century Swedish coinage. A circular Latin legend reading GOSTAVS * D * G * SV ECORVM * REX surrounds the effigy within a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a crowned quartered shield bearing the arms of Sweden: the upper-left and lower-right quarters showing three crowns (tre kronor), and the upper-right and lower-left quarters depicting a lion passant, all set upon a long cross that divides the field into four sections. The date 1528 appears in the upper portion of the field, flanking the upper arm of the cross. The encircling Latin legend MONET * • NOVA * STOKO L * 15Z8 * runs within a beaded border, identifying this as a new coinage of Stockholm. |
