| Obverse description | Central device features the crowned oval shield of Denmark bearing three passant lions above nine hearts, all within a plain oval cartouche surmounted by an elaborate royal crown. The circumferential legend encircles the entire field, reading clockwise from the upper left. The design is executed in a restrained neoclassical style typical of late 18th-century Scandinavian coinage. |
