| Obverse description | Royal cypher of King Carl XI — the interlaced initials CRS surmounted by a royal crown — occupies the central field. The crowned monogram is enclosed within a wreath of oak or laurel branches tied at the base, forming a near-complete circular border. The design is rendered in bold relief characteristic of hammered coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
Reval — modern Tallinn — operated under Swedish crown authority throughout the seventeenth century, and these small silver pieces were struck during Carl XI's minority reign, when the regency government in Stockholm maintained tight control over Baltic municipal coinage. The "with ribbon" distinction separates this die variety from companion issues by a small but catalogued difference in the wreath tying, a detail serious collectors of Swedish provincial coinage have tracked across the Ahlström and Haljak references for decades.
Production ran across a five-year window ending in 1669, after which Reval's independent minting activity effectively ceased.
