| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned quartered royal arms of Sweden within a beaded inner circle: the first and fourth quarters display the Three Crowns of Sweden, while the second and third quarters bear the Folkung Lion; an inescutcheon at center carries the Vasa sheaf arms. The crowned shield is rendered in the flat, linear style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Swedish hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, terminating with a leaf mintmark and a cross-fleurée ornament. |
