| Obverse description | Central field bears an oval shield with inward-curved sides containing a crowned rampant lion passant, the heraldic device of the Danish royal arms, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is set within a cross-pattée framework dividing the field into four quadrants. A circular Latin legend encircles the design, reading the royal titulature of Christian IV, broken across the quadrants in abbreviated form. The coin is struck by hammered technique, resulting in a slightly irregular flan with characteristic surface texture of early 17th-century Danish billon coinage. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays the denomination and name of the currency inscribed in four lines: '1 / SKILI / NGDAN / [date]', set within a beaded inner circle that divides the field. The date, here 1613, appears below the denomination inscription. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, carrying the remainder of the royal titulature referencing Christian IV's dominion over Norway, the Wends, and the Goths. Ornamental rosette or floral stops punctuate the legend. The overall composition is typical of early 17th-century Danish hammered billon skillings, with the reverse serving as the primary denomination-bearing face. |
