| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a pair of spectacles (eyeglasses) prominently displayed in the upper portion of the field, rendered as two circular frames joined at the bridge — a well-known personal device and emblem of King Christian IV alluding to vision and divine insight. Below the spectacles, a three-line Latin inscription in bold capital letters reads VIDEMVRA DOMI, meaning 'We are seen by the Lord,' with the date 1647 appearing on the lowest line flanked by pellets. A beaded border surrounds the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian IV struck these fractional ducats in the final years of his reign, a period marked by the disastrous outcomes of Danish involvement in the Thirty Years' War. The Treaty of Brömsebro in 1645 had stripped Denmark of territories and trading privileges, severely weakening royal finances. That the mint continued producing high-purity gold fractions in 1647 — just a year before the king's death — speaks more to ceremonial necessity than economic confidence.
