| Obverse description | Draped bust of Lukas Graham in left-facing profile occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with detailed curling hair. The bust is set against a recessed, darkened field framed by a gear-wheel or cog-shaped inner border, lending an industrial aesthetic to the design. The circular legend reads FRISTADEN CHRISTIANIA along the upper arc, with the motto LEV OG LAD ANDRE LEVE (Live and Let Others Live) along the lower arc. The date 20 16 is divided and positioned to either side of the bust within the cog border. The outer rim is plain and raised. |

| Additional information |
Freetown Christiania, the self-declared autonomous neighborhood in Copenhagen, has no legal authority to issue currency — which makes this piece a curiosity rather than a coin in any monetary sense. It was produced in 2016 as a commercial collectible tied to the Danish pop act Lukas Graham, whose song "7 Years" had broken internationally that year. The "1 Løn" denomination is invented, referencing the band's name for their internal unit of value, a piece of deliberate counter-culture theater with a mintage small enough to keep it squarely in novelty territory.
