| Obverse description | Armored half-length bust of Gustav II Adolf facing three-quarters to the right, wearing elaborately decorated plate armor with a lace collar and the royal regalia. Above the bust, the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) in Hebrew characters appears within a radiate nimbus at the top of the field, signifying divine sanction of the king's authority. The bust is flanked by laurel branches extending toward the periphery. The circumferential legend reads in Latin, interrupted by the bust, identifying the king as Rex Sueciae, Gothorum, and Vandalorum. The overall style is characteristic of early seventeenth-century German hammered thaler portraiture. |
