| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a shield bearing the Three Crowns of Sweden is centrally placed over a long-armed cross, the arms of which extend to the beaded border and divide the surrounding legend into four segments. The heraldic shield is rendered in a Gothic style characteristic of early sixteenth-century Swedish coinage. The peripheral legend in uncial Latin script identifies the issuing monarch. The overall composition reflects the hammered technique with characteristic irregular flan and uneven strike typical of the period. |
