| Reverse description | A crowned, three-part shield displaying the arms of Denmark, Norway, and the Kalmar Union, flanked symmetrically by two branches — one of palm and one of laurel — symbolising victory and enduring rule. Below the shield, the pendant of the Order of the Elephant hangs suspended on a horizontal ribbon band, dividing the date 1748 into two parts (17 and 48) placed on either side. Two lines of legend arc above the shield, the upper giving the king's royal titles and the lower, set in a smaller typeface, bearing his personal motto. Decorative floral ornaments punctuate the legend. |

| Additional information |
Frederik V's krone coinage went through multiple type revisions in rapid succession during the late 1740s, driven largely by adjustments to the coin's fineness and striking standards rather than any single political event. The Type 3 designation reflects one of these short-window production runs, which is why survivors in any grade tend to appear infrequently on the market. Denmark's mint at Copenhagen was operating under Johann Heinrich Wolff as mint master during this period, and administrative transitions at the mint correlate directly with the typological breaks collectors use to distinguish these issues.
