| Obverse description | A crowned allegorical female figure in classical drapery is seated in the field, resting her arm on a cube adorned with the symbols of the four estates of the Swedish Riksdag, while her hand touches an oval shield bearing three crowns; coins spill from cornucopias above the cube, and a lion reclines at her feet. The Latin legend arcs around the upper portion of the field. |
