| Obverse description | Bust of Christian III facing right, rendered in the crude relief typical of early hammered Danish coinage. A peripheral Latin legend encircles the effigy, reading CRISTIAN:D:G:REX:DANI:ET:N, abbreviated for 'Christianus Dei Gratia Rex Daniae et Norvegiae.' A trefoil (clover) mintmark is positioned above the king's head, serving as a mint or die identifier. The portrait is executed in a simple, linear style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Scandinavian hammered issues. The legend is separated from the central device by an inner beaded or linear border. |
