| Reverse description | The face value numeral '1' dominates the central field, rendered in bold relief with a lined texture, flanked symmetrically by two large cannabis leaves extending to either side. Below the numeral, a snail in detailed naturalistic relief occupies the lower centre, resting upon a ribbon-like scroll. A small heart symbol appears to the left of the central device and a small circular emblem to the right. The denomination legend 'LØN' is inscribed along the lower margin, and the coin's rim is decorated with a continuous notched or beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Freetown Christiania — the anarchist commune occupying a former military barracks in Copenhagen since 1971 — issued its Løn coinage not as a working currency but as a quasi-political statement during a period of sustained legal pressure from the Danish government over Christiania's contested status. The 2011 date places this piece squarely within the years following Denmark's 2004 law compelling residents to normalize their land tenure, a dispute that stretched through decades of court battles and negotiated settlements.
