| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Gustav I of Sweden (Gustav Vasa) in right-facing profile, wearing plate armor and holding a sword; the left hand cradles an orb, symbols of royal authority. The effigy is rendered in high relief with finely detailed Renaissance-style engraving. Below the bust appears the heraldic coat of arms of the Vasa dynasty. The encircling Latin legend references both the monarch's name and the commemorative date range 1560–1960. |
