Reverse

Crowned shield with the Three crowns of Sweden within circular Seraphim Order Chain. The Crown has a radiant star above its tip. Around the rim is the King's motto. Date is below, above a line, at both sides of the chain. Below the chain, in the exergue, in a brick wall pattern, the Arms of the province of Dalarna: crowned crossed arrows with crown above, divides the mintmark. The presence of these Arms indicates that the gold for the coin was obtained at the Dalarna Mines.
