| Reverse description | Central field features the denomination IIII SKILLING in two lines within a beaded inner circle, with a crowned oval cartouche bearing the numeral 24 (indicating the fineness or assay mark) positioned below the lettering. The outer legend reads NORV VAN GOT REX 1619 ☘, identifying Christian IV as King of Norway, the Vandals, and the Goths, with the date 1619 and the shamrock mintmark of the Copenhagen Mint. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted border and an outer plain rim, consistent with hammered coinage of the period. |
