| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate interlaced royal cypher of Christian V, composed of four intertwined letter C's arranged in a symmetrical foliate cipher design. The monogram is surmounted by a royal crown with cross finial and elaborate acanthus ornamentation. The peripheral legend PIETATE·ET·IUSTITIA reads around the circumference in raised Latin lettering, meaning 'With Piety and Justice.' The overall design is executed in a refined Baroque style characteristic of late 17th-century Scandinavian coinage. |
