| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of King Frederik III facing right, set within an inner beaded circle. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the baroque style characteristic of mid-17th century Scandinavian coinage. A circumferential Latin legend surrounds the portrait between the inner beaded circle and an outer beaded border at the rim. The king is shown crowned, with finely detailed royal regalia. |

| Reverse description | The crowned Norwegian lion rampant, holding a halberd-axe and facing right, is depicted within a central beaded circle. A Latin legend occupies the space between the inner beaded circle and a second outer beaded border near the rim, following the traditional Norwegian royal coin format of the period. The lion is rendered in bold relief, emblematic of the Norwegian coat of arms as used on royal coinage of Frederik III. |
