| Reverse description | Equestrian portrait of King Christian IV in full armor, mounted on a rearing horse facing left, rendered in vigorous relief characteristic of the hammered technique. The king raises his right hand in a commanding gesture, wearing a plumed helmet. The central equestrian device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a broad outer border containing fourteen small heraldic shield cartouches representing the various territories of the Danish crown. The Latin legend REGNA FIRMAT PIETAS C I H, meaning 'Piety strengthens the realms,' arcs across the upper field, with the mintmaster's initials I H incorporated into the legend. |
