| Obverse description | Central field displays the wheatsheaf arms of the House of Vasa within a beaded inner circle, flanked by the initials 'G' and 'R' (for Gustavus Rex) on either side of the device. A circular Latin legend runs outside the inner circle, incorporating the date, attributing the coin to the Swedish crown. The design is characteristic of early seventeenth-century Swedish hammered coinage, with the dynastic symbol prominently centred. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts the crowned Folkung lion passant holding an axe, accompanied by the three crowns of Sweden, all contained within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, identifying the piece as a new coin and stating its denomination in öre. The heraldic devices are rendered in the conventional style of early Vasa-period Swedish copper and billon coinage. |
