| Reverse description | The reverse displays a complex heraldic composition featuring the Royal Danish coat of arms: a central oval shield bearing the three blue lions passant with nine red hearts, emblematic of Denmark, surrounded by eight smaller escutcheons arranged in a cross pattern representing the constituent kingdoms and territories of the Danish Crown, including Norway, the Wends, the Goths, Schleswig, Holstein, Stormarn, and Dithmarschen. The entire composition is surmounted by an ornate royal crown. The date 1655 appears to the left within the field, and the mintmaster's initials HK are incorporated into the legend. The peripheral Latin legend DOMINUS PRO UIDEBIT • 1655 HK runs between inner and outer beaded borders, translating as 'The Lord will provide,' a pious motto chosen by Frederik III. |
