| Obverse description | King Christian II is depicted enthroned in full regalia, facing forward, holding a scepter in his right hand and the globus cruciger in his left, set upon a large and elaborately decorated Gothic throne. The enthroned effigy is contained within an eight-lobed double-line frame, a distinctive architectural border characteristic of early sixteenth-century Scandinavian hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding legend, which runs along the outer rim in uncial Latin characters. The overall composition reflects the Flemish-influenced engraving style prevalent at the Malmö mint during this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a crowned coat of arms featuring the quartered royal Danish arms with an inescutcheon at center, all within a beaded inner circle. The shield is surmounted by a crown of elaborate design, rendered in the Gothic heraldic style typical of early sixteenth-century hammered silver. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin characters runs along the outer field, with the date appearing at the conclusion of the inscription, rendered in the distinctive period notation with the numeral Z used for the digit 3. The composition is consistent with the regal proclamation style used at the Malmö mint under Christian II. |
