Obverse

The young queen stands elevated under a canopy in front of her throne, holding the scepter in her right hand. The Swedish Imperial Shield lies on the steps to the throne. To the queen's right stand the holders of the "Five High Offices" and present the royal regalia: crown, sword, scepter, orb and key. Opposite them are the representatives of the four estates: nobility, clergy, bourgeoisie and peasantry. In the foreground are high-up spectators who can be seen from behind.
