| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Gustav II Adolf of Sweden facing right, wearing a laurel wreath crown. The legend surrounding the effigy reads in Latin, with the king's titles abbreviated. The portrait is rendered in the early 17th-century hammered style typical of Swedish-occupied Prussian mint issues, with visible armor detailing on the shoulder and chest. |

| Reverse description | The city arms of Elbing — an eagle displayed within a cartouche or shield, adorned with a Maltese-style cross on the breast — occupy the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend identifies the issuing city and denomination. A small cross appears at the base of the design below the shield, and the date 1629 is incorporated within the legend. |
