Reverse description A crowned shield bearing the Dalarna arms — crossed arrows with the initial 'G' placed between the arrows and the three crowns of Sweden positioned above and to the sides — is displayed centrally within a beaded inner circle. A long cross with extended arms radiates from below the shield, dividing the outer legend into four sections. The date appears in one of the legend segments, rendered with a 'Z' substituting for the numeral '2', a common convention in contemporary Swedish epigraphy. The overall composition reflects the heraldic style of early Vasa-era coinage.
