| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '1' appears prominently within a horizontally lined inner circle at the center of the field, emphasizing the face value in a bold, legible manner. The surrounding legend, separated by asterisks, encircles the inner circle and declares the coin's value and monetary system. The overall design is simple and utilitarian, consistent with the minor bronze coinage of the Danish Rigsdaler rigsmont series. |

| Additional information |
This bronze skilling was introduced as Denmark transitioned away from the old copper rigsbank skilling system following the currency reform of 1854, which established the rigsmønt as the national unit. Frederik VII's reign coincided with the loss of Schleswig-Holstein after the Second Schleswig War, but these coins were struck before that humiliation — the 1864 cession reshaped Danish monetary geography entirely, removing a substantial portion of the population that had routinely handled this denomination.
Production ran across multiple mints and years, with minor die variations documented across the series. The Copenhagen mint struck the bulk of the issue.
