Reverse description The reverse displays the coin's denomination expressed as a fraction of the Reichsdaler, inscribed across four lines within a rope border. The surrounding legend, running along the outer field from the rope border to the rim, records the king's full royal titles and incorporates the mint date and mintmark at the terminus. The text references his rule over Denmark, Norway, the Wends, and the Goths, consistent with Danish royal titulature of the period. The arrangement of denomination within the rope circle and titles in the outer legend is typical of Christian IV's fractional coinage struck at Glückstadt.
