| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Carl XIV Johan facing right, depicted in a neoclassical style with curly hair and a mantle fastened at the shoulder with a circular clasp. The effigy occupies the central field with fine portrait relief typical of early 19th-century Swedish coinage. A circular legend surrounds the bust close to the rim, reading CARL XIV SVERIGES NORR G. O. V. KONUNG, identifying the king as ruler of Sweden, Norway, the Goths and the Wends. The field is otherwise plain, and the coin features a raised rim. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the fractional denomination '2/3' above 'SKILLING BANCO', with the date below, all divided vertically by a pair of crossed arrows — a traditional Swedish heraldic symbol. The entire central motif is encircled by a wreath composed of oak branches, with minor stylistic variations noted between years, including a wider wreath on the 1835 issue and differing letter sizes in BANCO for the 1843 issues. The overall composition is symmetrical and typical of Swedish copper coinage of the Riksdaler banco period. |
