| Reverse description | Detailed panoramic view of Kalmar Castle and its fortifications under a cloudy sky, with smoke and flames rising from the city walls on the right. In the foreground, a lively battle scene depicts Danish troops manning siege trenches before the walls, while cavalry charges in the middle ground. The inscriptions CEDE MAIORI and CALMAR appear in the field above the fortress, with the circumferential legend running along the border. |
