| Obverse description | Half-length armored effigy of King Gustav II Adolf facing left, wearing a cuirass with elaborate decoration and a ruffled collar, holding a scepter in his right hand and an orb surmounted by a cross in his left. The king wears a crown, and his figure fills the central field with a commanding, regal presence characteristic of early 17th-century Swedish royal portraiture. The circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, divided by the portrait, reading continuously around the coin's periphery. |
