| Obverse description | Central device depicts a sheaf of grain (the arms of Göteborg) rendered in relief, with the denomination mark '1 OR' inscribed below the sheaf within the inner field. The design is enclosed by a beaded inner circle, with the circular Latin legend running along the outer periphery. The hammered flan shows characteristic irregular edges typical of early 17th-century Swedish coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a rampant lion passant, the heraldic beast of Sweden, depicted in bold relief facing left and wearing a crown, rendered in the vigorous style characteristic of early Vasa-era coinage. The lion is surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The circumferential Latin legend names the Göteborg mint, with the date 1625 incorporated into the legend. The hammered surface displays the uneven texture typical of billon coinage of this period. |
