| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned royal cypher of Christian V — an elaborate interlaced script 'C5' beneath a royal crown with fleurs-de-lis and cross finial. The monogram is rendered in fine calligraphic relief with ornate flourishes characteristic of late 17th-century Danish coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, separated by star-shaped stops, reading 'C V * PIETATE · ET · IUSTITIA *', proclaiming the king's motto 'By Piety and Justice'. The coin's broad flan and milled border are typical of the large silver issues struck at Copenhagen under the reign of Christian V. |
