背面描述	Central crowned quartered shield bearing the arms of Sweden, surrounded by an ornate decorative border of interlocking quatrefoil or chain-link motifs that fill the broad flat field. A second, outer border of similar decorative elements frames the entire design, giving the reverse a richly embellished appearance characteristic of large Swedish multiple riksdaler coinage of the early seventeenth century. The date 1632 appears within the design.

附加信息	Gustav II Adolf died at the Battle of Lützen in November 1632, and coinage bearing his portrait continued to be struck posthumously for some years, complicating precise attribution of late issues. Type IV of this series reflects the final phase of production under his authority, with dies prepared at a moment when the Swedish war economy was operating at extraordinary strain — financing simultaneous campaigns across northern Germany required a constant outflow of bullion coinage to pay mercenary forces. KM#140 is among the larger silver multiples of the period, and surviving examples almost always show uneven planchet preparation characteristic of the Stockholm mint under wartime pressure.
