| Obverse description | The obverse features the elaborately interlaced royal cypher of King Frederik VIII of Denmark, composed of the letters F and VIII, rendered in a decorative cursive style with sweeping foliate flourishes. The monogram dominates the central field and is surmounted by the Danish royal crown, depicted with fleurs-de-lis and orbs in fine detail. A beaded border runs along the coin's rim. The engraver's initials GJ (Gunnar Jensen) appear in small characters at the lower right of the field. The design is executed in a refined, neoclassical style characteristic of early twentieth-century Danish coinage. |
