| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborately intertwined royal cypher of Frederik IV, formed by two interlaced script F's and Roman numeral IV rendered in flowing calligraphic style, surmounted by a large ornate royal crown with arched bands and cross finial. The monogram is set within a plain inner field without a border circle, with the crown positioned immediately above. The peripheral legend in Latin reads DOMINUS MIHI ADIUTOR (The Lord be my aid), separated by dot stops, running clockwise around the coin. The overall design is executed in a bold Baroque style characteristic of early eighteenth-century Danish milled coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central device consists of a large, finely detailed royal crown rendered in high relief, with ornate arched bands, fleur-de-lis terminals, jewelled circlet, and a cross pattée at the apex, set within a plain inner field. The peripheral legend reads IIII MARK DANSKE followed by the date 1726 and the mintmaster's initials C W flanking a heart privy mark, all separated by dot stops and running clockwise around the coin. The denomination expressed as four Danish marks corresponds to the valuation of one Krone or two-thirds of a Rigsdaler specie. The engraving reflects the refined Baroque style of the Copenhagen Mint under Frederik IV. |
