Reverse description The reverse displays the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH) in large Hebrew characters prominently centered in the field, flanked above by the Latin word IUSTUS and below by IUDEX, together reading 'God is a righteous judge.' A mintmaster's mark appears at the top of the field. The date, split around the lower field, reads 16–46 (or the relevant year of issue). This bilingual Hebrew-Latin religious inscription identifies the coin as one of the so-called Hebræermønter (Hebrew coins) struck under Christian IV, reflecting the king's deep interest in Hebrew scripture and theology.
