| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned Danish royal arms — a quartered shield bearing the three lions passant of Denmark — set within a beaded inner circle. A royal crown surmounts the shield. The circumferential legend in Latin reads CHRISTIA · D · G · DAN · REX, identifying the issuer as Christian III, King of Denmark by the grace of God. The lettering is rendered in Gothic-influenced characters typical of mid-sixteenth-century Scandinavian hammered coinage. The flan shows characteristic irregularity consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts a mounted knight or equestrian figure facing right, carrying a cross-topped lance or standard, enclosed within a beaded inner circle — a motif traditionally associated with the arms of Gotland. The surrounding circumferential legend in Latin reads MONE · INSVLÆ · GOTL, identifying this as coinage struck for the island of Gotland. The lettering is in a Gothic-influenced style consistent with Scandinavian mid-sixteenth-century hammered silver. The flan is irregular and shows typical characteristics of hand-struck production. |
