| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned Oldenburg coat of arms — a vertical column bearing alternating horizontal bars — set within a beaded inner circle. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown. The surrounding legend reads FRIDERICUS III D G REX DAN NOR V G, identifying the issuer as Frederick III, King of Denmark and Norway by the grace of God. The inscription runs continuously around the periphery in Latin characters. The overall style is characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century North German hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan and bold central device. |

| Reverse description | Central field contains a crowned monogram composed of intertwined letters, likely the royal cypher of Frederick III, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Below the monogram appear the mint-master's initials IS, identifying the mint official responsible for production at the Glückstadt Mint. The date of issue appears in the outer legend along with the ducal titles DVX SLES HOLS STOR MAR DITM, denoting Frederick III's authority over the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, Stormarn, and Dithmarschen. The reverse lettering is disposed around the periphery and within the central device in a manner typical of small hammered silver issues of the period. |
