| Obverse description | Central field displays the Vasa dynastic arms — a crowned escutcheon bearing the sheaf device — flanked by the royal cypher 'G' and 'R' (Gustavus Rex) in Gothic script, referencing Gustav II Adolf. The central armorial device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend reading MONETA · NOVA in Latin, interrupted by the date. The overall composition is characteristic of early seventeenth-century hammered Swedish colonial coinage produced for Reval. |

| Reverse description | A crowned shield bearing three passant lions arranged in pale — the civic arms of Reval — occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown rendered in a style typical of early seventeenth-century hammered coinage. The peripheral legend, divided across both sides of the shield, reads CIVITAT - REVAL, an abbreviated form of Civitatis Revaliensis, identifying the issuing city authority. The overall die workmanship reflects the variable quality characteristic of hammered small silver denominations of this period. |
