| Obverse description | Central design features the crowned Norwegian lion rampant, holding a battle-axe and facing left, enclosed within a beaded inner ring surmounted by an additional crown. The outer legend, rendered in Latin, reads FRID·IIII·D·G·REX·DAN·NOR·V·G·, identifying King Frederik IV of Denmark and Norway. A second concentric ring frames the entire composition near the coin's edge. The overall style is consistent with early eighteenth-century Scandinavian regal coinage, though the execution reflects the cruder workmanship characteristic of a contemporary counterfeit. |
