| Obverse description | The obverse face of this large Swedish copper plate money (plåtmynt) bears five applied stamps in accordance with standard practice for the denomination. Each of the four corners carries an identical punch depicting the crowned royal cypher of Queen Ulrika Eleonora, the intertwined monogram flanked by the divided date numerals. The central stamp displays the denomination inscription '4 DALER SILF:MYNT' surmounted by a pair of crossed arrows, the heraldic symbol of the Swedish mining districts and the Kopparberg copper works. The massive cast copper plate exhibits a characteristically irregular, warped surface with areas of cuprite and verdigris patination visible across the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this copper plate money is entirely blank, as is standard for Swedish plåtmynt of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The plain copper surface exhibits the characteristic undulating texture resulting from the casting process, with areas of reddish-brown oxidation and scattered patches of green verdigris patination across the field. No inscriptions, devices, or mint marks are present on this face. |
