| Obverse description | Three-quarter length armored effigy of Christian III facing right, holding a sword in his left hand; the royal head divides the encircling legend and breaks the inner beaded ring. The portrait is rendered in the Renaissance style typical of early Danish coinage, with detailed armor visible on the bust. A second beaded ring runs along the outer rim, framing the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | A crowned heraldic shield bearing the arms of Denmark is centrally placed, dividing the date numerals at the left and right sides, all contained within an inner beaded ring. The shield displays the characteristic quartered Danish royal arms in the hammered style of the period. An outer legend encircles the design, itself bounded by a second beaded ring at the rim. |
