| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned royal cipher of Frederik V, composed of an interlaced Gothic monogram surmounted by a royal crown. The monogram, rendered in a bold relief typical of Danish colonial coinage, occupies the majority of the flan. The coin exhibits an irregular, somewhat crude planchet characteristic of hammered copper coinage produced at the Tranquebar mint. |

| Reverse description | Central field features the interlaced monogram of the Danish Asiatic Company (DAC) surmounted by a royal crown, with the date and denomination arranged around the device. The letters forming the DAC cipher are rendered in an interlaced Gothic style. The date split across the field and the denomination numeral 4 are positioned in the legend, reading '17 DAC 61 4', consistent with the coin's issue year of 1761. |
