| Obverse description | The central field displays the Danish royal coat of arms — a shield bearing three crowned lions passant in pale, accompanied by heart-shaped charges — surmounted by an ornate royal crown. The arms are rendered in high relief within a plain shield. The peripheral legend curves around the upper and lower portions of the field, reading CHRISTIAN IX KONGE AF DANMARK, separated from the coin's beaded border. The overall composition is heraldic in character, consistent with mid-19th-century Danish regal coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination '1 CENT' is prominently displayed in two lines at the centre of the field, enclosed within a wreath of oak branches tied with a ribbon at the base. The mint year appears in the exergue below the wreath. The legend DANSK VESTINDISK MONT curves along the upper periphery, flanked by the beaded border that frames the entire design. Mint marks appear at the lower left and right of the wreath on later issues. |
