Reverse description Central design features a radiant equilateral triangle enclosing three Hebrew letters (shin, representing the divine name) arranged around a central pellet, the whole surrounded by rays of glory. At each vertex of the triangle, a crowned mirror-cipher composed of two confronted C monograms is placed, forming the royal cypher of Christian V, with the numeral 5 interspersed between each crowned cipher. The date 1694 is divided across the lower portion of the field, separated by a heart-shaped mintmark. The royal motto is inscribed in two arcs flanking the central device, divided by the crowned ciphers, all in Latin capital letters.
