| 正面描述 | At center, a tall obelisk-style pyramid adorned with the crowned royal cypher of Christian V rises from a rocky pedestal emerging from a turbulent sea. Flanking the apex of the pyramid, two clouds in high relief emit personifications of winds with blowing breath and rain descending upon the monument. The allegorical composition is framed by a Latin legend in the fields to either side, reading NEC VI NEC METU, translating as 'Neither by force nor by fear,' referencing the steadfast reign of the late king. |

| 背面描述 | A detailed panoramic view of the harbor of Copenhagen dominates the reverse, with the city's skyline rendered along the horizon in the background. Five sailing vessels are depicted at anchor or underway in the foreground waters, conveying the maritime importance of the Danish capital. The Latin legend HAFNIA DANIAE, meaning 'Copenhagen of Denmark,' appears within the design, serving as a tribute to the city as the heart of the Danish realm. |

Christian V died on August 25, 1699, after a hunting accident — he was struck by a ball during a game of mall, a croquet-like sport, and never recovered. These memorial ducats were struck in the same year of his death, almost certainly as presentation or distribution pieces for the court rather than circulation coinage. Two distinct types exist for this memorial issue, a detail that suggests either a rapid re-engraving or parallel production across different die cutters at the Copenhagen mint.
Frederik IV, who succeeded him, commissioned the memorial series promptly. The .979 fine gold standard was consistent with Danish ducat production of the period, following the conventions of the Hamburg trade ducat specification.
