| Reverse description | The reverse faithfully reproduces the reverse design of the Norwegian 1 Speciedaler of 1628 struck under King Christian IV. At the centre stands a crowned lion rampant to the right, holding a halberd, representing the Royal Arms of Norway, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle bordered by a twisted rope ring. The date 1628 is divided on either side of the lion within the inner field, with the inscription KOPI (meaning 'copy') inscribed at the lower right. The outer legend, separated by a beaded border, reads BENEDICTIO : DOMINI : DIVITES FACIT, a Biblical motto from Proverbs 10:22 ('The blessing of the LORD maketh rich'). The entire composition is deeply struck with an antique patinated finish, faithfully evoking the appearance of the original early seventeenth-century Baroque coinage. |
