| Obverse description | Central field bearing the royal cypher of Frederik III of Denmark, rendered as the capital letter 'F' followed by the numeral '3', separated by a central dot and followed by a dot, all enclosed within a roughly incuse rectangular cartouche. The surrounding field is plain and irregular, consistent with the crude hammered fabric typical of Danish India cash coinage struck at Tranquebar. The legends are minimal, with the royal initial and regnal number serving as the sole identifying device. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting a crowned double-headed fish, facing downward, the two fish joined at the tail beneath a crown with beaded finials, rendered in a bold and simplified style characteristic of hammered lead cash issues from Tranquebar. The design fills the plain, unbordered field and is executed with a primitive engraving quality consistent with local workshop production. No legend or inscription is present on this side. |
