| Reverse description | Central crowned coat of arms of Sweden and Norway, flanked by two lion supporters standing erect on either side. Below the shield and supporters, a ribbon scroll bears the royal motto 'BRODRAFOLKENS VAL'. The denomination '2 KRONOR' appears above the arms, while the date and mint official's initials flank the lower rim. The composition is formal and heraldic in character, consistent with Scandinavian coinage of the period. |
