Obverse description Central field depicts the flag of Freetown Christiania — a rectangular banner bearing three yellow circles on a red ground — held aloft on a flagpole, with a snail crawling at its base, rendered in bold relief. The design is framed by a toothed or cog-like inner border, evoking the communal and anarchist symbolism of the issuer. The circular legend reads 'FRISTADEN CHRISTIANIA' along the upper arc and 'LEV OG LAD ANDRE LEVE' along the lower arc, with the date '1997' divided at the right. The overall artistic style is naive and emblematic, consistent with the hand-crafted ethos of the Christiania community.

Reverse description Central field bears the large numeral '1' in bold relief, flanked symmetrically by two broad decorative leaves springing from a shared base. Below the numeral, a heart motif is prominently displayed, beneath which a ribbon or banner carries the denomination legend 'LØN'. Small symbolic devices — including what appears to be an Om symbol at the lower left and a lotus flower at the lower right — occupy the field beside the foliage. The rim is bordered by a dashed or stitched inner circle, reinforcing the hand-crafted aesthetic characteristic of Christiania's local coinage.
