The reverse bears the remarkable inscription "IUSTUS יהוה IUDEX", combining Latin and Hebrew. Literally translated, it means "Jehovah, the Righteous Judge." The Hebrew word in the center is the divine name יהוה (YHWH), commonly rendered in English as "Jehovah." The inscription reflects the strong biblical influence that characterized many of Christian IV's coin designs. The inscription echoes the words of Psalm 7:11.
"God is a righteous Judge, And God proclaims his judgments every day."
