| Aversbeschreibung | The obverse presents an elaborate allegorical death scene of King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden, depicted in full armor lying prostrate on the battlefield, his head adorned with a gem-studded crown, sword at his side. Above the fallen king, rays of divine light emanate downward from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (יהוה) at the apex, while putti and angels ascend heavenward through billowing clouds of battle smoke, symbolizing the king's apotheosis. In the middle ground, defeated enemy troops are shown in flight across a landscape, identified by a scroll inscribed GOTHA MORTIM FUGIUNT. A cartouche in the lower field records the biographical legend NATUS 9 DEC: ANNO 1594 / GLORIOSE MORTUUS 6 / NOV: ANNO 1632. The encircling outer legend, rendered in bold Roman capitals, reads GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS MAGNUS DEI GRATIA SUECOR: GOTHOR: ET VANDALOR: REX AUGUSTUS with the Hebrew Tetragrammaton above, the entire composition executed with exceptional baroque pictorial depth characteristic of Dadler's medallic art. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays a magnificent triumphal scene in the high baroque manner, depicting an armored figure — representing the apotheosized Gustav Adolf — riding a triumphant chariot drawn by rearing horses across vanquished enemies, serpents, and allegorical monsters trampled beneath the wheels. A crowned female figure representing Victory or Fame accompanies the chariot, holding aloft a sword, while a standing allegorical figure to the right bearing a cornucopia personifies the prosperity brought by the king's campaigns. Above the central scene, within a cartouche, the motto ET VITA ET MORTE / TRIUMPHO is prominently displayed. The broad encircling legend reads DUX GLORIOS: PRINCPIUS HEROS INVICT: VICTOR INCOMPARAB: TRIUMP: FELIX & GERM: LIBERATOR 1634, the entire field exhibiting the extraordinarily fine relief and complex multi-figure composition for which Dadler's large-format klippes and multiple thalers are celebrated. |
