| Obverse lettering | Center stamp: *4* DALER Sölff:Mnt Corner stamp: CAROLUS·GUSTAVUS·X·D:G:REX·SVECO: 1656. (Translation: Center stamp: 4 daler silvercoin. Corner stamp: Karl X Gustav, by the Grace of God, King of the Swedes) |
| Reverse description | Plain, undecorated reverse face of the cast copper plate, showing the natural texture of the rolled and hammered copper with characteristic surface striations and flow marks inherent to the plåtmynt manufacturing process. A later ownership or inventory notation appears scratched into the field, reading what appears to be '17 4/8' in cursive script, consistent with post-mint cataloguing or assay markings. The reverse bears no official die stamps or inscriptions, in keeping with standard Swedish copper plate money practice of the period. |
