| Reverse description | A large crowned heart-shaped quartered shield bearing the Greater Arms of Sweden: the Three Crowns of Sweden in the first and fourth quarters, the Folkung Lion in the second and third quarters, and the Vasa sheaf superimposed as an escutcheon at the center. The heraldic composition is surrounded by a lengthy Latin religious legend arranged in three lines, separated first by a beaded inner border and then by a single line border. The reverse design exemplifies the elaborate armorial style of late sixteenth-century Swedish royal coinage, with strong attention to heraldic detail and dynastic symbolism. |
