| Obverse description | Facing confronted busts of King Frederik I and Queen Sophia, each crowned, positioned at the center of the field with decorative floral ornaments above and flanking pillar devices at either side. A four-line inscription in Latin occupies the lower portion of the field, recording the names and royal titles of the monarchs. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner ring, with the legend running between the ring and the outer rim. The composition reflects the Renaissance double-portrait tradition characteristic of early sixteenth-century northern European hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | A standing figure occupies the center of the field, holding the royal arms of Denmark before them as a shield. Above, the crowned arms of the Dannebrog cross are prominently displayed, while the crowned arms of Denmark and Norway appear at the lateral sides. The arms of Schleswig, Holstein, Oldenburg, and Lauenburg are arranged in the lower portion of the field, forming a comprehensive heraldic composition of the Danish realm. All devices are contained within a beaded inner ring, with the Latin legend encircling the entire design between the inner ring and a second beaded ring at the rim, punctuated by a floral stop and the date 1532. |
