| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Frederik IV facing right, with flowing curly hair falling to the shoulder. The royal effigy is rendered in high relief in the baroque portrait style typical of early 18th-century Danish coinage. A Latin legend encircles the rim, interrupted at the top by the king's hair. The field is smooth and unadorned, focusing attention on the detailed portrait. |
