| Obverse description | Central field features a rampant lion facing left, rendered in the late medieval heraldic style characteristic of Swedish coinage of the period. The date 94 (for 1594) appears in the lower portion of the field, flanking the lion. A circular legend surrounds the central device, reading + SIGIS D G REX SVE 94, referencing Sigismund, by the grace of God, King of Sweden. The overall strike is typical of hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan edges and moderate relief. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays three crowns arranged in a triangular formation, a traditional emblem of the Swedish realm, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The numeral 2 and the letter P (for Penningar) appear within or adjacent to the crown arrangement, denoting the denomination. A circular legend surrounds the device, reading + MONETA NOVA SVE, meaning 'New Money of Sweden.' The strike, consistent with hammered technique, exhibits characteristic unevenness of the flan, with the legend partially visible around the periphery. |
