Obverse description Equestrian effigy of King Christian V advancing to the right at a slow, ceremonial pace, as in a royal procession. The king is depicted wearing a tall hat and a long flowing robe cinched by a sash at hip level. His left hand holds the reins while his right arm is extended outward, bearing a baton of command. The horse is shown at a collected walk, conveying regal authority and courtly dignity.

Reverse description The elaborately interlaced royal cipher of Christian V — composed of two mirrored and intertwined crowned 'C5' monograms — occupies the central field, rendered in a refined baroque calligraphic style. The conjoined cypher reads '5CC5' with the letters interlaced symmetrically. Surmounting the entire device is a large royal crown with arched bands and orb finial, rendered in fine relief. The coin's border is defined by a raised dentillated rim.
