| Reverse description | Central large numeral '1' dominates the field, flanked on either side by two cannabis leaves rendered in detailed relief. A snail in profile occupies the lower center, resting atop a decorative banner arrangement. To the left of the numeral, a heart symbol is visible; to the right, a yin-yang symbol appears, reflecting the community's eclectic symbolism. The denomination legend 'LØN' is inscribed along the lower periphery, and a dentilated border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Christiania's internal currency has been issued sporadically since the 1970s, primarily as a statement of the community's self-declared independence from the Danish state rather than as a functional medium of exchange. The 2018 copper pieces were struck to mark the community's ongoing resistance following years of legal battles with the Danish government over property rights and the community's future — disputes that at one point came close to forcing the settlement's dissolution entirely.
