| Obverse description | Crowned royal shield bearing the arms of Denmark centered within a beaded circle. A long-armed cross extends behind the shield, dividing the surrounding Latin legend into four segments. The heraldic composition is characteristic of mid-16th century Danish hammered coinage, with the crown rendered in high relief above the shield. The legend reads FRIDERICVS Z D G DANIE, identifying Frederik II as King of Denmark by the Grace of God. |
