| Reverse description | Central field displays the Swedish coat of arms — a quartered shield bearing the three crowns of Sweden — surmounted by a large royal crown and encircled by a wreath of laurel and oak branches tied at the base with a ribbon. Below the shield, the denomination mark I · R · (1 Riksdaler) appears flanking the mintmaster's initials L · B ·, with the date 18 20 divided across the lower field. The circumferential legend FOLKETS KÄRLEK MIN BELÖNING arcs around the upper portion of the reverse. The entire design is framed by the same finely dentilated milled border as the obverse. |
