| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the Swedish Three Crowns coat of arms, rendered as three ornate royal crowns arranged in the traditional triangular formation — two crowns in the upper field and one below — executed in bold relief. Beneath the lower crown lies a diagonal sword, its hilt to the lower right, serving as a symbol of martial sovereignty. The design elements are contained within the coin's field, with the circular Latin legend ISTO CREVIMVS ENSE (meaning 'By this sword we have grown') distributed around the periphery. The overall design is characteristic of Swedish Baroque heraldic coinage of the mid-seventeenth century, with a plain inner field and beaded rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Karl X Gustav died in February 1660 at Gothenburg, aged 37, almost certainly from pneumonia contracted during the winter campaign. His death came at a politically precarious moment — peace negotiations at Oliva were still unresolved, and Sweden held territories across the Baltic that required a functioning monarchy to defend. The funeral coinage was struck as part of the formal mourning observances, a practice rooted in Swedish ceremonial tradition dating back through the Vasa kings.
SM#40 is among the scarcer Swedish memorial issues of the 17th century. The .880 fineness is characteristic of Swedish silver production in this period, when the crown was managing bullion supplies under considerable fiscal strain from decades of near-continuous warfare.
