Reverse description The central field displays the crowned Swedish royal coat of arms — a quartered shield bearing the three crowns of Sweden and the lion of the Folkung dynasty — set within two concentric circles of heraldic blazons. The surrounding rings are densely packed with the escutcheons of Swedish provinces and territories, each individually rendered in small shields, creating an elaborate heraldic composition that encircles the entire reverse. The royal crown surmounts the central shield above, and the overall design is typical of the grand multi-blazon style employed on large Swedish silver multiples of the Vasa period.
