Reverse description Central field displays the crowned Danish coat of arms — an oval shield bearing three passant lions above nine hearts, representing the arms of Denmark — enclosed within a beaded inner oval. The legend surrounding the shield reads CHRISTIANVS IIII DG DANI, identifying the issuer as Christian IV, King of Denmark by the grace of God. The inscription is divided across the field in multiple lines within the oval, with the remainder of the legend continuing around the outer border. The beaded border and the crowned shield together reflect the heraldic conventions of early Baroque Scandinavian numismatic design.
