| Obverse description | Laureate and armored bust of King Christian V facing right, with long flowing hair. The king's cuirass features a lion-head pauldron at the shoulder, and he wears a draped scarf at the neck together with the badge and ribbon of the Order of the Elephant. A continuous Latin legend encircles the effigy along the rim, identifying the monarch by name and titles. |

| Reverse description | The crowned royal cypher of Christian V (C5) is displayed prominently above the crowned monogram of the Danish East India Company (D.O.C. — Dansk Østindisk Kompagni), the two devices united in a vertical arrangement. Crossed palm branches frame the composition on either side, their stems tied at the base with a knot below which the mint master's initials appear. The date 1672 is divided symmetrically at the foot of the royal cypher, flanking the numeral on either side. |
