| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large, ornately crowned royal coat of arms of Sweden fills the field, quartered with the three crowns of Sweden and the lion of the Folkung dynasty, with a central inescutcheon bearing the Vasa sheaf. The crown above the shield is richly detailed with pearls and fleurs-de-lis. The Latin legend surrounding the arms continues the king's titles as Prince of Finland and Duke of Estonia and Karelia, Lord of Ingria. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gustav II Adolphus died at the Battle of Lützen in November 1632, the same year this piece was struck. Nuremberg had every reason to honor him — the city had hosted the Swedish king and his army in 1632 during the broader Protestant campaign, and the siege politics of that year made Swedish military protection existentially important to the free imperial city. These multiple-ducat presentation pieces were not struck for circulation; they functioned as diplomatic gifts and honoraria.
KM#127 is among the scarcer Nuremberg gold issues of the Thirty Years' War period. The .986 fineness is characteristic of the city's ducat production at this mint, which maintained unusually high gold standards relative to many contemporary German issues.
