Reverse description Central device depicts the Three Crowns, the principal arms of Sweden, arranged in a triangular formation — two crowns in the upper field and one below — surrounding an ornate crowned royal cypher of Johan III rendered as an interlaced monogram with floral embellishments. The denomination numeral '3' appears to the left of the central device and the mark abbreviation 'M' to the right. The circumferential Latin legend IOHANNES·3·D:G·SVECIE·GOT·VA·REX, punctuated by rosette and cross stops, encircles the design between the inner beaded border and the outer rim, reading 'Johann III, by the Grace of God, King of Sweden, of the Goths and the Wends'.
