| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green and black on white cotton paper, with the Swedish royal coat of arms — supported by two rampant lions beneath a crown — as the central vignette at the top. The issuer's name 'Sweriges Riksbank' flanks the arms in elegant serif lettering, with the serial number 'N°000000, W' appearing twice in the upper field. The denomination 'ETT HUNDRA' is set in bold letterpress within an oval guilloche cartouche at centre, flanked by the words 'Riksdaler' and 'Riksmynt', with the date 'Stockholm den 3 Januarii 1870' and the convertibility clause inscribed below, and the numeral '100' in an oval underprint at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the same design as the obverse but printed in mirror image, a security measure typical of mid-nineteenth-century Swedish banknote printing, allowing verification by holding the note to the light. The royal arms vignette, guilloche cartouche with 'ETT HUNDRA', flanking text 'Riksdaler' and 'Riksmynt', and the oval '100' at the foot are all visible in reversed orientation. The overall impression is in dark grey-black ink on plain white paper without additional colour. |
