Obverse description Within a beaded inner circle, the last two digits of the date flank a crowned Vasa arms shield. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the central design in the outer annulus, separated from the inner circle by a dotted border. The overall style is characteristic of late 16th-century Swedish hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan edges typical of the period.
