| Aversbeschreibung | Full-length effigy of King Christian IV standing facing right within an inner beaded circle, the king robed and crowned, holding a scepter in his right hand and a royal orb in his left. The figure is rendered in late Renaissance style with fine drapery detail. The royal title legend in Latin capitals runs along the outer field between the beaded circle and the coin's rim. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Central field bears the Tetragrammaton in Hebrew characters (יהוה), flanked above by the Latin word IUSTUS and below by IUDEX, together forming the devotional inscription 'God is a righteous judge.' The date appears at the bottom of the field, the numerals divided by the Copenhagen mint's halberd mintmark. The composition reflects the coin's popular name Hebræermønt ('Hebrew coin'), referencing its unusual incorporation of Hebrew script into a European gold coinage. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The "Hebræermønt" designation — Hebrew coin — derives from the Hebrew script incorporated into the design, an extraordinarily unusual choice for a European gold issue of the seventeenth century. Christian IV commissioned these pieces during the Torstenson War with Sweden, a period when Denmark was hemorrhaging territory and treasury alike. The king was simultaneously negotiating with Jewish financiers and merchants, and some numismatic historians have connected the Hebrew elements to those diplomatic and commercial relationships, though the precise political reasoning behind the design decision remains debated.
Christian IV died in 1648, making the latest strikes of this type among his final coinage issues.
