| Obverse description | Half-length armoured effigy of King Christian IV facing right, wearing a lace ruff at the collar and a sash across the breastplate. The king's head is bare and uncrowned, while a royal crown appears above in the field. The legend encircles the bust, interrupted by the date, and is rendered in Latin capital letters. The portrait reflects the refined engraving style characteristic of early seventeenth-century Danish royal coinage. |

| Reverse description | The royal arms of Denmark displayed on an ornate oval cartouche adorned with decorative scrollwork and strapwork. A long cross extends behind the shield, its arms visible in the four quadrants of the field. The heraldic composition is rendered in the Baroque style typical of the period, with fine detail in the shield quarters. The encircling Latin legend completes the royal titulature, separated by a trefoil or shamrock mintmark. |
