| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a four-line inscription denoting the denomination reads '1 / SECH / S·LIN / H·', with the numeral '1' at the top and the mint-master's initial 'H' at the base. A circular outer legend surrounds the inner circle, reading '* I * SECH S.LIN CARL REX SUECIA', identifying Charles XI as King of Sweden. Decorative crosses separate the legend elements in the outer band. The overall design is characteristic of the small hammered coinage of the Swedish-controlled German territories in the late 17th century. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays the heraldic arms of the Duchy of Bremen and Verden, rendered in the compact style typical of small hammered coinage of this period. Floral or foliate ornamental devices accompany the shield. A circular Latin legend surrounds the arms, reading 'DUX BR & VERD', identifying the issuer as Duke of Bremen and Verden, with the date of issue incorporated into the surrounding legend. The design reflects the dual authority of Charles XI as both Swedish king and Duke of these north German territories. |
