Obverse lettering CHRIS TIANV S·D:G· DANIE·
(Translation: Christian III, by the Grace of God, (King of) Denmark.)
Reverse description The reverse displays the denomination and date arranged in four lines within a beaded inner circle, reading as a central inscription in the field. A circumferential Latin legend encircles this central motif, referencing the king's additional royal titles, and the entire design is framed by an outer beaded border at the rim. The layout is a typical hammered-coin arrangement of the period, with the date integrated directly into the field inscription. The lettering is rendered in the Gothic-influenced script customary for Danish royal coinage of the mid-16th century.
