| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of King Christian V with long flowing curled wig, rendered in fine Baroque style. The effigy is uncrowned, with armored or draped shoulder truncation visible at the base. The circular legend is interrupted by the bust at left and right, running along the inner border of the beaded rim. The portrait displays strong relief and detailed hair treatment characteristic of late 17th-century Danish coinage. |
