| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of King Christian IV, wearing a high ruff collar, facing right within a beaded inner circle. The royal motto REGNA FIRMAT PIETAS appears within the inner circle surrounding the effigy, while the outer legend bearing the king's titles in Latin runs between the inner beaded circle and the beaded border at the rim. The portrait is rendered in the detailed high-relief style characteristic of early seventeenth-century Scandinavian coinage. |
