| Obverse description | Central crowned royal monogram or stylized lettering in Gothic uncial script, rendered in high relief against a flat field, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The legend, reading CRISTIERN REX D., runs along the outer circumference in uncial characters, partially separated by small pellet stops. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval Danish hammered coinage, with irregular flan and bold, somewhat crude letter forms. The crowns and decorative elements flanking the central device reflect the heraldic artistic conventions of the mid-fifteenth century Danish royal mint output. |
