Reverse description Central field features the Tetragrammaton (יהוה, the Hebrew name of God) rendered in Hebrew characters within a radiate inner circle composed of alternating radiating rays and scalloped segments, creating a sunburst or glory effect. This distinctive iconographic choice reflects the religious symbolism prevalent under Duke Karl's administration. Surrounding the inner circle is the Latin legend MONETA * NOVA * 1600 * יהוה, separated by star-shaped stops, denoting the coin as new coinage with the date of issue. The overall design is boldly struck with deeply incused lettering, characteristic of the hammered technique employed at Stockholm Mint in this period.
