| Obverse description | Crowned and armored bust of King Charles X Gustav of Sweden facing right, wearing a crown adorned with pearls and a richly decorated cuirass with beaded ornamentation at the shoulder. The king's long flowing hair falls behind his neck in the baroque style. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, divided by the bust truncation, with a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | The crowned oval arms of the City of Elbing set within an elaborate baroque cartouche of scrolling acanthus foliage, displaying a cross above a divided heraldic shield. A grotesque mask appears at the base of the crown above the shield. The mint-master's initials NH appear below the cartouche, and the date 1657 flanks the crown at the top. The circular Latin legend reading MONETA · CIVITATIS · ELBINGENSIS surrounds the central device within a beaded border. |
