| Obverse description | A royal crown depicted in relief at center of the irregular flan, with the royal cipher 'F·3' inscribed below, referencing King Frederik III of Denmark. The design is primitively executed in the hammered style typical of Danish colonial cash coinage struck for Tranquebar, with the crown serving as the principal device in the field. |

| Reverse description | A plain Latin cross in high relief occupies the center of the flan, with the four arms extending nearly to the coin's edge. The cross is boldly rendered without additional ornamentation, inscription, or border, consistent with the simple, utilitarian style of hammered lead cash coinage produced for the Danish settlement at Tranquebar. |
