| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central ornamental cross formed by four pairs of crowned, mirrored back-to-back cypher letters F (for Fredericus), each pair facing inward toward the center, with the numeral 3 occupying the central point of intersection. The surrounding legend continues the royal titulature, with the regnal date and Copenhagen mint mark (a shamrock) positioned at the conclusion of the inscription. The overall design is a classic royal cypher type consistent with Danish gold coinage of the 1660s. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederik III's ducats of this period were struck in the immediate aftermath of the 1660 constitutional revolution, when the Danish nobility was stripped of its tax privileges and absolute hereditary monarchy was formally established. The king needed hard currency — and visible symbols of his new authority — as the crown reorganized finances gutted by the disastrous wars with Sweden that had cost Denmark its trans-Øresund provinces under the Treaty of Roskilde just two years prior.
The .979 fineness places these among the purer gold issues of the period, consistent with the Royal Mint's adherence to the ducat standard shared across much of northern Europe for trade purposes.
