| Reverse description | The central field prominently displays the Tetragrammaton — the four Hebrew letters of the divine name יהוה (YHWH) — rendered in large, bold characters occupying the majority of the die. Above the Hebrew text, the Latin word IUSTUS appears along the upper arc, while IUDEX is inscribed along the lower arc, together forming the phrase 'IUSTUS IUDEX' (righteous judge), a biblical reference from Psalm 7:12. Small decorative rosettes punctuate the legend at intervals. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, making this one of the most distinctive issues of Christian IV's reign, known as the 'Hebrew coin' (Hebræermønt). |
