| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the ornate interlaced royal cypher of King Christian IX, composed of two intertwined 'C' initials rendered in an elegant cursive script, surmounted by a detailed Danish royal crown. The legend 'DANSK VESTINDIEN' arcs along the periphery, divided by small floral ornaments at either side. The date '1905' appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by the mint master's heart privy mark and the engraver's initial 'P'. The design is executed in a refined neoclassical style with strong, well-defined relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1905, Christian IX was in the final months of his life — he died in January 1906 — making this one of the last issues struck under his long reign, which had begun in 1863. Denmark's dual denomination system at the time, pairing the øre-based decimal coinage with the older bit reckoning inherited from the West Indies trade, reflects the awkward monetary overlap between the home kingdom and its colonial possessions. The 10-bit designation tied directly to the Danish West Indies, where bit denominations remained in everyday use.
