| Obverse description | Central crowned royal monogram of King Christian IV (C4) in the field. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the monogram, terminating at a trefoil mintmark denoting the Copenhagen mint. The lettering is rendered in the characteristic bold Gothic-influenced style of early Danish coinage. |

| Reverse description | A large, boldly rendered cross dominates the field, its arms extending to divide the surrounding Latin legend into four segments. At the center of the cross sits a rounded shield frame. The inscription, split into four parts by the cross arms, identifies the monarch by name and title. The overall design is typical of the small billon coinage produced for Christian IV in the early seventeenth century. |
