| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Frederik III facing right, wearing a crown, with flowing hair visible beneath. The king is depicted in a bold, baroque relief style typical of mid-17th century Danish gold coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, interrupted at the base by the numeral III denoting the king's regnal number. The field is smooth and characteristic of hammered gold production. |
