| Reverse description | The Swedish royal crown is displayed at top center, surmounting a triangular arrangement of three heraldic shields: at upper left, the Three Crowns of Sweden; at upper right, the Folkung Lion; and at lower center, the Vasa sheaf arms, with the date split to either side of the lower shield. The entire device is contained within a double circular border, the inner ring being a plain single line and the outer ring a laurel wreath circlet, with the Latin scriptural legend occupying the outermost margin. A mintmaster's mark appears within the legend. The composition is a fine example of Renaissance heraldic coin design as practiced in sixteenth-century Sweden. |
