| Obverse description | Armored and crowned youthful effigy of King Frederik III facing right, with long straight hair, the bust partially contained within a beaded inner circle. The royal armor is rendered in fine detail, and the crown sits prominently atop the portrait. A Latin legend encircles the design in the outer field, interrupted by a date element. The composition conveys the formal regal portraiture characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Danish coinage. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a large, wide, and closed Danish royal crown is depicted in high relief and elevated position, serving as the central device. The King's personal motto curves around the crown in a clockwise direction commencing from the upper right, partially within and partially at the sides of the beaded circle. A continuous Latin legend encircles the outer field, concluding with the mint mark. The overall arrangement reflects the stately heraldic style of the Danish royal coinage of the period. |
