| Reverse description | At center, a radiant sun displays the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (יהוה, IEHOVA) within a double inner circle. The inner annular band carries the king's personal Latin motto, while the outer legend band records the denomination in Swedish. The composition reflects the strong Protestant devotional character of Karl IX's coinage, combining sacred Hebrew scripture with royal imagery. |
