| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Charles X Gustav of Sweden facing left, depicted with long flowing hair and armored shoulders, the effigy rendered in high relief in the baroque style typical of mid-17th-century Polish-Prussian coinage. A wreath of laurel leaves crowns the king's head, and the bust terminates at the truncation with visible plate armor detail. The surrounding circular legend in Latin reads CAROLUS GUSTAVUS DG REX, separated by pellets, running clockwise along the outer rim. |

| Reverse description | Three Swedish crowns arranged in triangular formation within the open field — two crowns positioned side by side in the upper half and one crown centered in the lower half — each rendered as an ornate closed royal crown with elaborate floral and foliate detailing above an arched band. The composition directly references the Three Crowns heraldic emblem of the Swedish kingdom. Below the lowermost crown, the Roman numeral XVIII appears in the exergue, denoting the denomination of 18 groszy. The field is unadorned, with no surrounding legend. |
