| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold Greek cross with thick, elongated arms dominates the field, dividing the peripheral legend into four segments. At the center of the cross, three oval-shaped crowned shields display the arms of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway respectively, encircled by a garter-style band interlaced with the cross arms and bearing the pendant of the Order of the Elephant suspended below. The crown of Denmark surmounts the uppermost shield, intersected by the upper arm of the cross. Surrounding the central composition, fifteen small oval provincial shields of the Danish realm are arranged along the inner rim. The mintmaster's initials GK appear flanking the lower arm of the cross, immediately above the Elephant pendant. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederik III consolidated Danish royal authority after the Estates General transferred hereditary absolutism to the crown in 1660 — a bloodless but constitutionally radical transfer with almost no parallel in contemporary Europe. The speciedaler coinage that followed served the new absolute monarchy as a vehicle for projecting that authority, with motto-bearing and motto-less varieties produced concurrently, likely reflecting workshop batches rather than deliberate policy shifts.
Davenport's EC II attribution places this squarely in the high-grade silver trade coinage tradition Denmark maintained to compete in Baltic commerce, where speciedaler weight and fineness were actively scrutinized by merchants.
