| Obverse description | Central field displays the municipal coat of arms of Västervik within a shield, depicting a stylized sailing vessel with a prominent mast, rigging, and billowing sail rendered in low relief. The curved legend LOKALNYNT FÖR VÄSTERVIK arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 20 KR appears in the lower field beneath the shield. The overall design is executed in a simple, functional engraving style characteristic of Scandinavian local coinage tokens of the 1980s. |

| Additional information |
Västervik's tourist token program in the 1980s was part of a broader Scandinavian municipal trend toward locally issued brass pieces redeemable at participating shops and attractions — a low-stakes experiment in regional economic circulation that mostly served souvenir hunters rather than functioning commerce.
