| Reverse description | A crowned shield bearing the arms of the City of Narva — depicting stacked crossed swords and a fish — occupies the central field, with the denomination numeral and mintmaster's initials flanking the shield. The surrounding Latin legend giving the coin's authority and date runs along the periphery, notably without an inner circle, distinguishing this variety from related issues. |

| Additional information |
Narva's civic coinage authority was a product of Swedish imperial administration — the city operated under Charles XI, whose minority government had only recently assumed direct control following the regency period that ended in 1672. This piece predates that transition by a year, placing it squarely in the contested administrative moment before the young king consolidated personal rule. The missing inner reverse circle distinguishes it from the standard type and is catalogued separately by Fedorov precisely because the omission appears to reflect a die preparation decision rather than wear or damage.
