| Obverse description | Crowned ornate oval shield bearing the arms of Denmark, set within a beaded inner circle. A Latin legend encircles the shield in the outer field, identifying the king by name and title. The heraldic composition is rendered in the bold, decorative style characteristic of early seventeenth-century Danish coinage under Christian IV. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and currency name are inscribed in four lines across the field, reading XVI / SKILLI / NG·DAN / 1624, with the Copenhagen mintmark (shamrock) positioned above the legend. Flanking dots serve as decorative separators, and the date appears on the lowest line. The bold, upright lettering fills the flan in a plain, unadorned typographic arrangement typical of Danish hammered silver coinage of the period. |
