| Obverse description | Full-length effigy of King Christian IV standing facing right, crowned and robed, holding a scepter in his raised right hand while his left hand rests upon the pommel of his sword. The royal figure is contained within a beaded or rope inner circle, with the Latin legend interrupted at the base by the king's feet extending beyond the border. On specimens bearing the crossed-swords mintmark, the king's figure is notably larger in proportion to the field. |

| Reverse description | A large ornate crown displayed prominently in the central field, surmounting the initials R.F.P. (Regna Firmat Pietas — 'Piety Strengthens the Realms'). The date 1618 appears above the crown, with the individual numerals separated by the crown's points. The entire central device is enclosed within a pearled inner circle, while the Latin legend runs around the outer rim, with the mintmark positioned at the beginning of the inscription. |
