| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crowned, rampant lion with two tails, passant and facing left, grasping a curved halberd — the traditional heraldic symbol of the Kingdom of Norway — depicted within a beaded inner circle. The royal motto appears as a circumscribed Latin legend in the outer field, with the mint year and mintmaster's initials (FG) positioned at the conclusion of the inscription. A beaded ring along the rim frames the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederik III had held the Danish-Norwegian throne for only four years when this piece was struck, and his position was far from secure. The aristocratic Rigsråd still held substantial checks on royal power — absolute monarchy wouldn't be imposed until 1660, after the catastrophic losses of the Dano-Swedish wars forced a constitutional reckoning. The small bust variety with legend starting under the bust is catalogued separately by Hede and Brekke precisely because die placement was inconsistent across this issue, not a later engraver's whim.
Norwegian specie production in 1651 drew on Kongsberg silver, the mine having reopened in earnest during the 1620s.
