| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of King Christian V facing right, wearing a long flowing wig with laurel wreath, depicted in elaborate plate armor with decorative shoulder guards and lace cravat. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the Baroque portrait style characteristic of late 17th-century Danish coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait close to the toothed border. The engraver's initials appear at the base of the bust truncation. |
