| Obverse description | Draped and armored effigy of King Frederik V facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed plate armor over a draped mantle. The legend encircles the bust along the periphery, and the engraver's initial appears in the truncation below the neck. The portrait conveys a regal, baroque sensibility characteristic of mid-18th-century Scandinavian coinage. |

| Reverse description | A large, ornately crowned coat of arms displays the quartered shield of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, with the shield tilted slightly to the right. Foliate branches adorn the left side of the shield, while military trophies comprising weapons and armor are arranged to the left and below, framing the composition in a baroque martial style. The date 1746 appears within the legend, and the reverse inscription references the Chinese gold used in the coin's production. The overall design is richly detailed and characteristic of the elaborate heraldic gold coinage of the Danish royal mint. |
