Crowned lined orb with the three crowns of Sweden within the chain of the Order of Seraphims. The crown has a radiant star above its tip with King's motto further above. 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 Småland: a rampant lion holding a crossbow. The presence of these Arms indicates that the gold for the coin was obtained from the mines of Ädelfors, in the province of Småland.
