| Obverse description | Equestrian portrait of King Christian V in full armour, depicted as an heroic commander astride a rearing horse facing left, the king holding a baton or sceptre aloft in his right hand. The horse is shown in a levade pose with forelegs raised, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the mane, tail and harness. A small foliate or decorative element appears in the lower field beneath the horse. The design fills nearly the entire flan, enclosed by a fine beaded border. |
