| Obverse description | Central field bears a large Gothic initial 'F' — for King Frederick II of Denmark — displayed within an ornate cartouche-shaped shield. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown rendered in high relief with beaded arches. The entire device is enclosed within a raised, thick circular border. The style is characteristic of mid-16th century Danish emergency klippe coinage, with bold, simply rendered forms suited to hasty wartime production. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and date are arranged on three horizontal lines within a raised, thick circular border: the numeral '1' flanked by pellets on the uppermost line, the word 'MARCK' in bold Gothic lettering across the centre, and the date '1563' flanked by pellets on the lower line. The inscription is rendered in a plain, legible style typical of wartime klippe emergency coinage. The flat square flan shows the irregular hand-cut edges characteristic of klippe production. |
