| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a six-line Latin inscription arranged in horizontal lines, commemorating the alchemical smelting of gold by Otto Arnold von Paykull in Stockholm in 1706. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, filling the available field without an inner circle. The coin's milled edge is visible at the periphery, and the plain field surrounding the inscription imparts a stark, documentary quality to the design. |
