| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a large crowned royal cypher comprising the interlaced script monogram 'FR' surmounted by a royal crown rendered in dotted style. The monogram occupies the central field of this crudely struck, irregularly shaped flan, characteristic of the hand-struck coinage produced for Danish colonial India. No peripheral legend is present. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the denomination and date are arranged in three horizontal lines across the central field, reading '·I·' (value) above 'KAS' above '1819' (date). The legends are rendered in bold capital letters on a plain field, with no additional ornamentation. The flan is irregularly shaped and the strike is characteristic of the primitive hand-struck technique used at the Danish India colonial mint. |
