| Obverse description | Draped bust of Charles XII facing right, with flowing wig, set within a circular legend. A small oval countermark applied in the right field bears the royal cypher, authenticating the coin's revaluation. The portrait is rendered in the baroque style typical of late 17th-century Swedish coinage. The legend encircles the effigy along the rim. |
