Reverse description Two geese in graceful flight are depicted in the central field, rendered in a stylized manner evoking the wild geese from Lagerlöf's celebrated novel 'The Wonderful Adventures of Nils.' A lengthy Swedish-language quotation encircles the design along the edge, taken from the short story 'Monarkmötet' (The Meeting of Monarchs), included in the 1915 collection 'Troll och människor' (Trolls and Humans). The inscription reads: FREDEN ÄR FÖR RIKET DETSAMMA, SOM SUNDHET ÄR FÖR KROPPEN, translating as 'Peace is to the kingdom what health is to the body.' The composition is clean and uncluttered, with the geese serving as the sole primary design element against a smooth field.
