| Obverse description | Right-facing draped and armored bust of King Frederik V, rendered in high relief with finely detailed periwig, lace cravat, and ornate pauldron. The king's effigy is depicted in the Baroque portrait style typical of mid-18th century Danish coinage, with the truncation showing elaborate armor chasing. A mintmaster's mark 'A' appears at the base of the truncation. The circular Latin legend runs along the periphery within a beaded border. |
