| Obverse description | Crowned and armored bust of Christian III facing right occupies the central field, with the date 15-35 divided on either side of the effigy. The king is depicted in half-length, wearing a crown and plate armor, rendered in the robust late-Gothic style characteristic of early Danish hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle separates the central effigy from the surrounding Latin legend. The circular legend reads CRISTIAN⸰D⸰G⸰E⸰REX⸰DACIE, identifying the ruler as Christian III, elected King of Denmark by the Grace of God. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays the crowned Danish royal arms — a shield bearing three passant lions above nine hearts, the traditional heraldic device of the Kingdom of Denmark — enclosed within a beaded inner border. The royal shield is surmounted by an arched crown with clearly rendered pearls and arches. The surrounding circular Latin legend, separated from the central device by a beaded circle, reads MONETA⸰NOVA⸰REGNI⸰DACIE, proclaiming this as the new coinage of the Kingdom of Denmark. |
