| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned interlaced monogram of Queen Christina of Sweden, with the Vasa dynastic arms — featuring a wheatsheaf — superimposed at centre. The crowned monogram is rendered in a bold, interlaced gothic style typical of mid-17th-century Swedish coinage. A circular beaded border separates the central device from the surrounding peripheral legend. The Latin legend runs continuously around the coin's circumference, abbreviated in the customary manner of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears the quartered heraldic shield of the city of Reval — divided by a cross into four compartments, each containing a stepped or castellated charge — set within a plain inner circle. The shield is rendered in a simple, bold style characteristic of hammered small coinage of the period. A circular beaded border frames the central device, beyond which the Latin peripheral legend runs continuously around the coin's circumference, identifying the issuing authority. |
