| Obverse description | Draped bust of Queen Christina facing three-quarters to the left, depicted in a lace-trimmed garment characteristic of mid-17th century Swedish royal portraiture. The effigy displays the queen's youthful features with flowing hair, rendered in relatively high relief for a hammered coinage. A circular beaded border frames the design, with the royal legend disposed around the entire periphery in Latin capitals. The portrait occupies the majority of the field, leaving narrow margins between the bust and the surrounding inscription. |

| Reverse description | Central quartered coat of arms of Sweden, featuring the three crowns of Sweden and the lion of the Folkung dynasty in alternating quarters, surmounted by a royal crown rendered in bold relief. The shield is set within the field without additional supporters, consistent with the simplified heraldic treatment typical of smaller denomination hammered marks of this period. The date 1634 is divided by the shield, with '16' appearing to the upper left and '34' to the upper right of the crown. The denomination indicator '8 Ör' appears in the lower field flanking the shield. A Latin legend in capital letters encircles the design within a beaded border. |
