| Reverse description | Two bearded river-god figures reclining on either side of a central Viking ship prow bearing a heraldic shield, their hands joined above it in a gesture of union. In the background, a large canal lock gate flanked by rocky outcrops is depicted, with tall-masted sailing vessels visible to the left and an obelisk to the right. The legend FÖRENADE arcs across the top of the field, with the date inscription in the exergue below a horizontal line. |
