| Reverse description | A crowned oval heraldic shield bearing the quartered arms of Denmark, Norway, and the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein occupies the central field, dividing the fractional denomination '1/3' and 'SP.' at either side. The date 1787 is divided by the mintmaster's initials 'M·F·' and appears in the lower portion of the field. A circular legend around the rim expresses the value in Schilling Courant for the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. |
