Reverse description Equestrian portrait of King Christian IV in full armor, mounted on a rearing horse facing left, holding a field marshal's baton or sword aloft in his right hand and bearing a standard or banner in his left. The central equestrian scene is framed by a broad border of sixteen circular shields bearing the heraldic arms of the constituent territories of the Danish realm, surmounted at top center by a large crowned royal coat of arms flanked by additional armorial devices. A small engraver's initial 'H' (for Henniges) appears at the base of the design. The reverse legend, divided among the heraldic border, reads REGNA FIRMAT PIETAS ('Piety strengthens the realms').
