| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of Sweden and Norway, displayed within a plain border. The shield is rendered in a crude but characteristic medieval hammered style, with visible lions and a cross motif in the quarters. A beaded or rope-like inner circle frames the central device. The surrounding legend in Gothic uncial letters reads ERICVS REX SWECIE, identifying the issuer as Erik, King of Sweden. The overall strike is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered medieval coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a small crowned figure or crowned initial, likely a stylized crowned letter or device associated with the Åbo mint, set within a beaded inner circle. The design is primitive and characteristic of early fifteenth-century Finnish mint production, with an uneven strike and somewhat irregular planchet. The surrounding legend in Gothic uncial letters reads MONETA ABOENSIS, identifying the coin as a product of the Åbo (Turku) mint. The field surrounding the central device is largely plain, with slight die wear visible. The reverse fabric and style are consistent with other known örtug issues of Erik of Pomerania. |
