| Obverse description | Draped bust of Christian III facing left, with beard and laureate head, occupying the majority of the field. The king is portrayed in a Renaissance style characteristic of mid-16th century Scandinavian coinage. A Latin legend encircles the effigy reading D. G. DANO. REX. CHRISTIANVS. 3, identifying the king as Christian III, King of Denmark by the grace of God. The coin is struck on an irregular flan with the slightly uneven surfaces typical of hammered gold coinage of this period. |
