| Obverse lettering | CHRISTIANUS IIII D G DANI NO V G REX 1629 (Translation: Christian IV by God`s grace King of Denmark, Norway, the Wends and the Goths) |
| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a large crowned heart dominates the central field, with the words DI RIGE MEUM inscribed across and below the heart. Above the crown, the divine name Jehovah in Hebrew characters (יהוה) radiates with sunbeams in glory at the top of the inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend is separated by pellets and runs continuously around the outer border, invoking divine guidance. The overall composition reflects the devout personal piety associated with Christian IV's coinage. |
