| Obverse description | Central device consisting of the interlaced and mirrored royal cypher of King Frederik IV, formed by two intertwined cursive 'F' letters, surmounted by a large ornate royal crown with arched bands. The monogram is elaborately rendered with foliate flourishes extending to either side of the field, filling the coin's surface in a bold baroque style with no surrounding legend. |
