| Obverse description | Narrow laureate and armored bust of King Christian IV facing right, set above a horizontal line, with the royal shield of Denmark — displaying ten hearts — centered below the line and interrupting the inner beaded circle. The king's effigy is contained within the beaded border, and his hair does not fall over the collar. The royal motto REGNA FIRMAT PIETAS appears within the inner circle along the border, while the outer legend naming the king and his titles runs along the rim outside the circle. |

| Reverse description | Standing full-length figure of Fortuna, nude, balanced upon a small globe in the lower field, her hair streaming to the left. She raises a long, flowing banner or sail above her head with her right hand while her left hand holds it at hip level. The figure is contained almost entirely within a beaded inner circle, with the circular legend and the date 1640 followed by the mint mark placed outside the circle along the rim. |
