| Beschrijving keerzijde | The quartered royal arms of Sweden surmounted by a royal crown occupy the central field, displaying the Three Crowns of Sweden, the lion of the Folkung dynasty, and additional heraldic charges within a divided shield. The date 1632 appears flanked at the upper left and right of the crowned shield. A continuous Latin legend in beaded borders surrounds the composition, referencing the king's titles as Prince of Finland and Duke of Estonia. The heraldic engraving is finely detailed, consistent with the high craftsmanship of the Nuremberg mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gustav Adolf of Sweden was killed at the Battle of Lützen on 6 November 1632 — the same year this thaler was struck — making Nuremberg's commemoration of him both a tribute and an almost immediate memorial. The city had hosted the Swedish king for nearly four months in 1632 while his army regrouped, a stay that placed enormous strain on Nuremberg's resources but cemented the alliance between the city and the Swedish crown against the Habsburgs.
Davenport EC II#4550 places this among the broader category of German memorial thalers for Gustav Adolf, of which Nuremberg produced several distinct die variants in the years immediately following his death.
