| Obverse description | Crowned royal shield bearing the arms of Denmark, set within a raised inner circle. Small pellets or ornaments may appear flanking the shield on either side. The design is rendered in the crude hammered style typical of emergency wartime coinage, with the crown rising above the shield into the field. |
