| Obverse description | Central device depicts the stylized three-dot flag symbol of Freetown Christiania rendered as a radial design with eight curling tentacle-like appendages emanating from a central boss flanked by two additional raised dots, all within a milled gear-tooth border. The circular legend FRISTADEN CHRISTIANIA arcs across the upper field, while the motto LEV OG LAD ANDRE LEVE (Live and let others live) arcs along the lower field. The date 2020 is divided to either side of the central device at the mid-field. |

| Additional information |
The Løn is a private currency issued by Løn, a small intentional community and barter network based in Denmark. Very little is documented about its monetary structure or issuing authority, and X# references in general numismatic catalogs cover exonumia and privately issued pieces outside any national framework. Beyond its silver content, the circumstances of this issue's production and the community that backed it remain poorly attested in the numismatic literature.
