| Reverse description | Central device displays the Swedish three-crown arms (tre kronor), depicting three open crowns arranged two above one within a shield or plain field, a heraldic symbol of the Swedish realm. The surrounding Latin legend reads SOLIDUS. CIVI. ELBING. followed by the mint date, all separated by stops and running along the coin's periphery. The design reflects the standardized solidus type issued under Swedish occupation of Elbing, with the civic attribution clearly stated in the legend. Strike quality is typical of emergency or occupation coinage, with some weakness and irregularity in the flan. |
