Obverse description Crowned royal cypher of Eric XIV occupies the central field, formed by the interlaced letters E and 4, with the date divided and flanking the monogram. The whole is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend reading ERIC · XIIII · D · G · REX distributed around the periphery in Latin characters. The style is characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century hammered coinage, with an irregular flan and somewhat crude but legible execution.
