| Obverse description | Armored half-length effigy of Gustav II Adolf, King of Sweden, facing right, depicted in elaborate plate armor with a lace collar and commander's sash, holding an orb surmounted by a cross in his right hand. The portrait is rendered in the robust Baroque style characteristic of German Thaler coinage of the Thirty Years' War period. A circular beaded inner border frames the design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery reading GUSTAVUS. ADOLPHUS. D. G. REX. SVECORVM. The king's features are boldly struck, conveying his status as a military sovereign and Protestant champion. |
