| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large, boldly rendered cross dominates the field, its arms extending to divide the surrounding Latin legend into four segments. At the center of the cross sits a rounded shield frame. The inscription, split into four parts by the cross arms, identifies the monarch by name and title. The overall design is typical of the small billon coinage produced for Christian IV in the early seventeenth century. |

The Type 2 distinction on this issue reflects a die modification made during Christian IV's ongoing attempts to regulate Denmark's notoriously debased small change. The hvid had been in slow decline for over a century by this point — a denomination that once carried meaningful silver content reduced to billon so lean it bordered on copper wash. Christian's monetary reforms of the period were partly driven by the need to fund his increasingly aggressive foreign policy, which would culminate disastrously in his intervention in the Thirty Years' War after 1625.
Survivors in any collectible state are uncommon; pieces of this weight and alloy circulated hard and corrode readily.
