| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned royal cypher of Christian IV, composed of interlaced and mirrored 'C4' monograms beneath a crown, partially enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Below the monogram, the fractional denomination is presented within an ornate cartouche. Bilingual legend in Latin flanks the central device at both sides along the rim, reading CHRIS· | ·4D:G·D C4, abbreviated for 'Christianus IV Dei Gratia Daniae Rex' (Christian IV, by the Grace of God, King of Denmark). The overall style reflects early seventeenth-century Northern European hammered coinage. |
