| Obverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of King Gustav Vasa, mantled and crowned, holding a raised sword in his right hand and the Globus Cruciger in his left. Below the royal figure, a quartered shield bearing the arms of Vasa and Dalarna (crossed arrows) is positioned in the lower central field. The figure and shield are partially enclosed within an inner circle, with the circumferential Latin legend running outside it. The design is rendered in the bold, somewhat archaic relief characteristic of early Swedish hammered silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | A crowned shield bearing the Three Crowns of Sweden, surmounted by the royal crown and overlaid by a long-armed cross whose limbs extend to the coin's periphery, dividing the circumferential legend into four segments. The date 1523 appears at the conclusion of the legend. The cross terminates at the legend circle, giving the design a bold architectural quality typical of early Vasa-era coinage from the Uppsala mint. |
