| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a raised linear border on a diamond-oriented square klippe flan, a crowned heraldic shield bearing the Arms of Denmark — displaying three passant lions — set upon an ornate cartouche with foliate and scrollwork mantling. The royal crown above the shield features fleurs-de-lis and arched elements rendered in high relief, characteristic of the Renaissance decorative style prevalent at the Danish court under Frederick II. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a raised linear and beaded border on the diamond-oriented square klippe flan, the denomination and date are inscribed in four lines across the plain field, reading: · I · / GOLT / KRONE / · 1564 ·, flanked by pellet stops. The bold, slightly irregular Roman lettering is typical of mid-sixteenth-century Danish mint production, conveying the denomination (1 Gold Crown) and the year of issue with clarity and economy of design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick II struck this issue during the Seven Years' War of the North (1563–1570), Denmark's costly conflict with Sweden under Erik XIV over Baltic trade dominance and control of the Sound tolls. Gold coinage of this period served largely diplomatic and military payment functions rather than everyday commerce, which explains why survivors in any condition are exceptional. The Danish mint at this time operated under severe fiscal strain, with the crown repeatedly forced to debase silver issues while maintaining gold purity for prestige emissions.
Fr#23 is among the rarest attributions in Friedberg's gold coverage of Scandinavian issues.
