| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of King Christian V facing right, wearing a flowing periwig with long curls. The royal effigy is rendered in high relief in the baroque style characteristic of late 17th-century Danish coinage. The legend is divided at both sides of the portrait, reading across the field in Latin. The truncation of the bust is unadorned, and the overall die work is attributed to engraver Anton Meybusch. |

| Reverse description | A royal crown is displayed prominently at the top of the field, surmounting the crowned royal cipher or motto initials of King Christian V. The date is split into two parts separated by a small heart-shaped mintmark at center, forming a symmetrical composition. The full circumferential legend, rendered in Latin, encircles the design and identifies the king's multiple titles. The heart mintmark below the date serves as the privy mark of the Copenhagen Mint for this issue. |
