| Obverse description | Royal cipher of King Christian IV of Denmark occupies the central field: the interlaced letter C encircling the numeral 4, surmounted by a royal crown, with the initial R to the left and P to the right, and the letter F above the crown. The entire device is contained within a beaded inner border, characteristic of the hammered coinage of the period. The design is bold and deeply struck, with the monogram elements rendered in a vigorous early 17th-century style. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a four-line Latin inscription in the field denoting the denomination and issuing authority, reading from top to bottom: the numeral I flanked by six-pointed rosette stops on the first line, followed by SKILL, NGDAN, and the date 1620 (with a rosette stop between 16 and 20). All lettering is set within a beaded inner border matching that of the obverse. The inscription reads in full as I SKILLING DAN[sk] with the year, confirming the coin as one Skilling Dansk of the Danish realm. |
