| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line funerary inscription in Latin capital letters filling the entire field, recording the birth and death dates of King Charles XII. The text is arranged in five lines across the coin's surface without any central device, emphasizing the commemorative and epitaphic character of the issue. The legend reads NATVS·EST· D·XVII·IVN· A·MDCLXXXII· OCCVB·D·XXX·NOV· A·MDCCXVIII·, translating as 'Was born on the 17th day of June in the year 1682. Died on the 30th day of November 1718.' The coin is encircled by the same fine milled border as the obverse. |
