| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a royal throne beneath a crowned baldachin draped with an ermine mantle, the throne back decorated with the crowned royal arms. Two pairs of female allegorical figures flank the throne, each holding symbols of royal virtue and power including a scepter, sword, shield inscribed DEO ET POPULO, and a palm branch. A lion reclines on the steps before the throne. The legend VT FVLGENT VT IVNCTA BEANT arcs across the upper field, while the commemorative inscription in the exergue records the anointing ceremony at Frederiksborg on 6 June 1731. |
