Obverse description Draped bust of Queen Kristina facing right, with hair elaborately dressed and gathered at the nape in a chignon, rendered in high relief with fine detail. The effigy is uncrowned and displays a classical, idealized portrait style characteristic of mid-17th century Swedish coinage. The peripheral legend reads REGINA CHRISTINA, divided on either side of the bust, with the letters incuse into the flat field. The portrait occupies the full height of the flan, with minimal border treatment.

Reverse description Three crowns of Sweden arranged in a triangular formation — two in the upper field and one centered below — each depicted as an open royal crown with foliate ornaments, struck in bold relief against a flat, unadorned field. Below the lower crown, the denomination mark appears as I flanked by decorative stops and M, indicating one mark. The composition follows the traditional Swedish tre kronor heraldic device and is characteristic of the Kristina coinage series. No peripheral legend is present; the design is contained within a plain raised rim.
