| Obverse description | Crowned royal cypher of Christian V in plain (non-interlaced) monogram style, centered within a straight inner circle. The royal motto encircles the design as a peripheral legend outside the inner circle, reading clockwise from the upper right in Latin capital letters. The field is smooth and unadorned, emphasizing the bold simplicity of the monogram. |

| Additional information |
Christian V's reign saw a systematic reorganization of Danish coinage following the absolutist reforms of 1660, when the monarchy consolidated power away from the nobility and used the mint as a direct instrument of royal authority. The plain monogram variety of this type distinguishes it from the crowned monogram issues struck in the same period — a minor but catalogued die distinction that affects collector differentiation between the two.
