| Obverse description | The obverse carries a central promissory text in period Danish script, with the royal cypher monogram CVC positioned to the upper right of the text block. Four red wax seals are applied: one in the upper left bearing the seal of Christian V, and three along the lower edge corresponding to Jørgen Thormøler, Jacob Sørensen (interest writer), and Lauritz Mauritzen Trap (interest writer). Manuscript signatures appear below and to the right of the printed text. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a manuscript notation of the denomination and a handwritten control number, as visible in the image with the inscription "Croner = 20 = Rx" and the serial number "No. 255" written in period script. The text is sparse, occupying the central portion of an otherwise plain paper surface, consistent with the utilitarian practice of early Scandinavian promissory notes. |
