| Obverse description | Laureate and long-wigged bust of King Frederik III facing right, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of mid-17th-century Danish hammered gold coinage. The effigy fills the central field with flowing curls of the periwig extending to the coin's lower edge. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, separated by pellet stops, reading FRIDERIC : III : D : G : REX : DAN : NOR, attesting to the king's royal title by the grace of God over Denmark and Norway. The inner border is defined by a beaded or toothed rim. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of an elaborate crowned royal cipher of Frederik III — composed of interlaced F and E letters forming a cross-shaped monogram — with the numeral 3 at the centre, surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by two ornate shields bearing the Danish arms. A smaller decorative shield or cartouche appears at the base of the monogram. The circular Latin legend surrounding the device reads VANDALORVM GOTHOR Q 1664, proclaiming Frederik III's sovereignty over the Vandals and Goths, with the date 1664 incorporated into the legend at the top. Dot stops punctuate the legend throughout. |
