| Obverse description | Draped and armored effigy of King Frederik III facing right, the bust breaking upward through a beaded (roped) inner circle. The king is depicted wearing armor overlaid with a mantle or drapery at the shoulder. A continuous Latin legend encircles the composition outside the inner circle, commencing at the left of the crown. The portrait is rendered in the Baroque style typical of mid-17th-century Danish royal coinage. |
