| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uncrowned and undraped bust of King Carl XIII facing right, with long flowing curled hair rendered in fine detail, occupying the majority of the obverse field. The portrait is executed in a neoclassical style typical of early 19th-century Swedish coinage. A continuous circular legend in Latin runs along the entire rim, separated from the effigy by a dentilated border. The king's titles are abbreviated throughout the legend, identifying him as ruler of Sweden, Norway, the Goths and the Wends. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device consisting of a crowned Swedish coat of arms featuring the Three Crowns, set within the collar chain of the Royal Order of the Seraphim. The elaborate chain forms a circular wreath around the shield, with the pendant badge positioned at the base, flanked by the divided denomination, date, and mintmaster's initials in the lower field. The king's royal motto is inscribed in two parts along the left and right rim respectively, completing the circular legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carl XIII was a childless king manipulated by competing factions into adopting Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte — a Napoleonic marshal with no Swedish blood — as crown prince in 1810. The 'NORR' in the coin's title refers to the incorporation of Norway into a Swedish-Norwegian union following the Treaty of Kiel in 1814, a geopolitical reshuffling that forced a mid-series legend change on this riksdaler type to acknowledge the new dual monarchy.
The .878 fineness is notably below the contemporary European silver standard, a deliberate policy reflecting Sweden's depleted treasury after decades of Continental warfare.
