| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black on a pale green guilloche underprint, with the royal Swedish coat of arms — two crowned lions flanking a crowned shield — centered at the top. The denomination 'FEM HUNDRA' appears in bold letterpress within a dark oval cartouche at center, flanked by the words 'Riksdaler' and 'Riksmynt', while the issuer inscription 'Sveriges Rikes Ständers Bank' is split across the upper field. Serial number positions 'N°000000,K' are printed in the upper left and right corners, and the date 'Stockholm den 3 Januari 1859' is inscribed in script below the central text block, which also states the note's redemption terms in silver. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is a mirror-image impression of the obverse design, printed in the same black-on-pale-green guilloche scheme, producing a see-through registration effect typical of mid-19th-century Swedish banknote printing. The royal coat of arms with flanking lions and crown appears at the top center, and the denomination oval cartouche with 'FEM HUNDRA' is visible in reverse at center. All inscriptions and numerals appear as laterally inverted counterparts to the obverse, consistent with the back-printing technique used to deter counterfeiting. |
