| Obverse description | Armored bust of King Gustav II Adolf facing right, wearing elaborately engraved plate armor without a shoulder bow, and holding a scepter. The king's effigy is rendered in high relief in a commanding, regal style typical of early 17th-century Swedish coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the design. The legend surrounding the bust reads GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS, with the royal title REX SVECOR(UM) and DG (Dei Gratia) completing the inscription around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Christ as Salvator Mundi, depicted without a robe, facing forward with arms outstretched, holding an orb surmounted by a cross in his left hand and raising his right hand in blessing. To the left of the figure, the crowned Swedish coat of arms is displayed. The date MDCXXXI (1631) appears in the exergue or legend area. The surrounding legend reads SALVATOR NOSTER, with additional inscription A NOS referencing the devotional theme. The composition reflects the strong Lutheran iconographic tradition of Swedish riksdaler coinage under Gustav II Adolf. |
