| Beschrijving voorzijde | Equestrian effigy of King Christian V in full armour, wearing a plumed helmet, depicted in right-facing profile at full gallop across a landscape groundline. The king holds a baton in his right hand, his cloak billowing behind him, the horse richly caparisoned with tasselled trappings. The design occupies the full field with no surrounding legend, and the coin border is defined by a fine beaded rim. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three interlaced crowned C5 royal monograms arranged in a trefoil configuration at the centre of the field, flanked by six royal crowns alternating with foliate ornaments disposed around the border. The monograms are boldly rendered and interlocked to form a symmetrical, radiating pattern, with the surrounding crowns resting on elaborate acanthus-leaf cartouches. The border is defined by a beaded rim consistent with the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian V inherited a Norway still absorbing the consequences of the 1660 constitutional revolution that had abolished the Danish nobility's tax privileges and entrenched absolute monarchy. These gold ducats were struck at the Kongsberg mint, which had been established in 1686 to exploit the rich silver veins discovered there in 1623 — though gold for ducat coinage was imported rather than locally mined. The denomination itself was a trade coin format, intended as much for merchant exchange across the Baltic and North Sea as for domestic use.
Brekke 154A distinguishes a specific die pairing within the type; collectors should verify the reverse die carefully against plated examples.
