| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the quartered royal arms of Denmark, Norway, and Holstein, surmounted by an ornate royal crown. The dexter chief quarter displays the Danish arms with lions and hearts, the sinister chief displays the Norwegian lion, and the base quarter bears the Holstein nettle-leaf device. No peripheral legend; the unadorned field surrounds the armorial device, giving the design a plain, utilitarian character consistent with emergency wartime coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and date are displayed in four horizontal lines across the field in bold upright lettering, reading RIGSBANKTEGN / FOR / 6 SKILLING / 1813, followed by a stop after the date. The legend RIGSBANKTEGN curves along the upper periphery, while the remaining lines are centered in the field, emphasizing the token nature of this emergency issue. The design is entirely typographic with no figural or decorative elements, reflecting the austerity of the Napoleonic-era Danish monetary emergency. |
