| Obverse description | Half-length effigy of King Johan III, crowned and clad in armor, facing three-quarters left, raising a sword over his right shoulder and holding a globus cruciger in his left hand — classical symbols of royal sovereignty. The royal bust surmounts an ornate quartered shield bearing the Greater Arms of Sweden with the Vasa dynastic arms at center. Both the figure and shield are partially enclosed within an inner circle containing the king's personal motto, while the principal legend runs in the outer field. The composition is richly detailed and reflects the elaborate engraving style characteristic of mid-16th century Swedish commemorative coinage. |

| Reverse description | Half-length effigy of King Erik XIV, crowned and armored, facing right, holding a raised sword over his right shoulder and a globus cruciger in his left hand — emblems of royal authority. The bust is contained within an inner beaded or plain circle, with the surrounding legend occupying the outer field. The portrait is rendered in a style consistent with 16th-century Northern European medallic engraving, and the inclusion of the preceding king's image on this coronation issue reflects Swedish dynastic commemoration practice. |
