| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the elaborate interlaced royal cypher of Frederik IV, composed of two mirrored script 'F' characters intertwined with the numeral '4', forming a symmetrical monogram. The cypher is surmounted by a large royal crown rendered in high relief with detailed arched bands and orb finial. The surrounding legend, reading clockwise from the lower left, is divided by the crown: DEI • G • REX • DAN • NOR • V • G •, referencing the king's titles by the grace of God over Denmark, Norway, the Wends and the Goths. The design is executed in the baroque court style typical of early eighteenth-century Danish coinage, with the monogram filling the majority of the flan. |
