| Obverse lettering | TERRA CÆLOQVE BEATA MARIA ELEONORA REGINA SVECIÆ OBIIT 18 MAR MDCLV |
| Reverse description | Central field bearing three interlaced royal cipher monograms arranged vertically, each composed of the letters C, S, and R (Carolus/Christina/Sigismundus Rex/Regina), rendered in bold hammered relief and intertwined in a decorative fashion typical of seventeenth-century Swedish commemorative coinage. A circular outer legend reading CONIVGE ET NATA SINE PARI encircles the monograms, referencing Maria Eleonora as unequalled as both wife and mother. The field is plain and unadorned save for the ciphers. The lettering and monograms are characteristically bold and slightly irregular, consistent with the hammered technique. The design serves as a dynastic tribute, evoking the royal family's mourning. |
