| Obverse description | Full-length enthroned effigy of King Frederik I in armor, seated frontally upon an elaborate throne flanked by great pillars, holding the globus cruciger in his right hand and a scepter in his left. The royal figure is contained within an inner beaded ring, beyond which a Latin legend encircles the design, the entire composition further bounded by a second beaded ring at the rim. The style is characteristic of early sixteenth-century Danish hammered coinage, with bold, somewhat archaic relief rendering of the royal regalia and throne architecture. |

| Reverse description | A crowned shield bearing the royal arms of Denmark centrally placed in the field, with the divided date 15-31 flanking the shield at either side. A Latin legend surrounds the central device within an inner beaded ring, with a second beaded ring running along the rim. The composition follows the standard heraldic arrangement of Danish royal coinage of the period, with the scriptural motto serving as an admonitory inscription befitting royal justice. |
