| Obverse description | Royal crowned cypher of King Christian V of Denmark, displaying the interlaced monogram 'C5' beneath a crown, centrally positioned within the field. The design is crudely struck on an irregular flan, consistent with the primitive minting techniques employed for Danish Indian colonial coinage. The monogram occupies the majority of the obverse field with no surrounding legend. |
