| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate crowned royal cipher of Frederik VI, consisting of an interlaced script monogram 'FR' surmounted by a beaded royal crown with cross finial. The numeral 'VI' appears below the cipher, denoting the regnal number. The fractional denomination '1/24' is inscribed to the left of the monogram and the abbreviation 'SP.' to the right, referencing the Speciesthaler standard. The design is rendered in a crisp neoclassical style with finely detailed beading on the crown. |
