| Obverse description | Right-facing draped and armored bust of King Frederick IV, portrayed with a long flowing wig and ornate plate armor, displaying the badge of the Order of the Elephant on his chest. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the baroque portrait style typical of late 17th-century Danish coinage. The surrounding circular legend in Latin is separated by pellets and reads along the coin's periphery. |
