| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Gustav III facing right, with naturally styled curled hair tied at the nape, set within the coin's inner border. The royal effigy is rendered in a refined neoclassical style with fine portrait detail. The circular legend runs along the full periphery, separated from the bust by a raised inner rim. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the portrait to dominate the design. |

| Obverse lettering | GUSTAF III·SV·G·OCH W·KONUNG· (Translation: Gustav III King of Sweden, the Goths and the Wends.) |
| Reverse description | Ten lines of commemorative Swedish text arranged centrally across the field, enclosed within a finely detailed wreath composed of oak leaves and floral elements tied at the base. The inscription commemorates twenty years of external peace, ten years of internal tranquility, and the growth of the royal house, with the date 1782 displayed prominently at the foot of the legend. The wreath frames the text symmetrically, with decorative floral clusters punctuating the design at regular intervals. The overall composition is characteristic of late 18th-century Swedish commemorative coinage. |
