Reverse
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 rampart 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.
