| Obverse description | Elaborately crowned and draped bust of Gustav IV Adolf facing right, set within a beaded inner circle. The royal effigy is rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. The surrounding legend arcs along the periphery, separated from the bust by the inner circle. The overall style reflects late 18th-century Swedish neoclassical portraiture as employed on royal commemorative coinage. |

| Reverse description | The royal motto 'GUD OCH FOLKET' (God and the People) is inscribed in three lines at the centre of the field, surrounded by a finely detailed laurel wreath tied at the base with a bow. The wreath branches are rendered in high relief with individual leaves clearly delineated. The coin's milled edge frames the entire design. The composition is austere and heraldic in character, with no additional ornamental devices in the field. |
