| Obverse description | Full-length standing effigy of King Christian IV facing right, clad in full plate armor and wearing a crown, holding an orb in his raised right hand and a scepter in his left. The numeral '4' appears in the field, denoting the regnal number of the monarch. The figure stands on a small plinth or baseline, with the mint mark visible below. A beaded inner border frames the central design, with the royal legend distributed around the periphery in Latin script. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (יהוה, the divine name of God) rendered in bold, prominently raised Hebrew characters dominating the central field, flanked by the Latin words IUSTUS above and IUDEX below, together forming the inscription 'God is a righteous judge' drawn from Psalm 7:12. The date 1645 (or 1646) is inscribed in the lower portion of the field. This distinctively bilingual design, incorporating both Hebrew and Latin script, reflects Christian IV's engagement with Jewish community affairs and gives the coin its name, Hebræermønt. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
