Obverse
A full-length portrait of Linné based on a picture by J. E. Rehn from 1774. Linné is surrounded by the modest but vigorous plant “linnaea borealis” which is named after Linné. At the lower edge of the picture are the artist’s initials, “AWJ”.
Reverse
A stylized image of stamens and pistils, which is taken from Linné’s “Systema Naturae” from 1736, in a checked pattern that symbolises orderliness and systematics.Around the upper edge is the name of the book and at the lower edge the denomination. To the left of the edge is the letter “E”, which indicates the place the coin was minted and on the right are the letters “SI”, which are the initials of the Riksbank Governor.
