| Beschrijving keerzijde | A pair of eyeglasses (spectacles) rendered in bold relief occupies the upper portion of the reverse field, serving as a rebus device. Below, a two-line Latin inscription is distributed across the lower field, separated by three pellets in the exergue. The motto is a truncated devotional phrase alluding to divine providence. The flan is irregular and the rim shows the characteristic irregularity of hammered production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian IV struck fractional ducats in his final years while Denmark was hemorrhaging money from the disastrous Torstenson War against Sweden, concluded by the humiliating Peace of Brömsebro in 1645. The crown ceded significant Norwegian and Danish territories, and the treasury was in no condition to sustain large gold issues. The quarter ducat denomination, already rare in Danish coinage, appears in 1647 just two years before the king's death — a period when the court was scaling back expenditure sharply. Fr#60 pieces surface infrequently at auction, and surviving examples in any grade are genuinely uncommon.
