| Obverse description | Within a wreath of laurel branches, the crowned interlaced royal cypher of Carl XI (CRS — Carolus Rex Sueciae) occupies the central field. The cypher is rendered in bold relief beneath a heraldic crown, with the wreath encircling the monogram symmetrically. No peripheral legend appears; the design relies entirely on the crowned monogram as the primary device. |

| Additional information |
Narva's civic coinage of 1670–71 was struck under Swedish imperial authority during Carl XI's reign, at a moment when the city functioned as a critical Baltic entrepôt linking Swedish-controlled Estonia to wider European trade networks. The "with ribbon" variety distinguishes this die from closely related issues — Haljak and Ahlström both catalog the distinction, though surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce, reflecting the limited output of a provincial mint operating under tight Swedish oversight rather than the full resources of Stockholm or Gothenburg.
