The colorful illustration features a whimsical hot air balloon prominently displaying "EN GLAD PÅSK" (Happy Easter) in bold, festive lettering, accompanied by a flowing Swedish flag.

The reverse side features a handwritten message in Swedish and a signature, adding to its unique historical and personal appeal.
