| Reverse description | A divine arm emerges from a cloud at the left, wielding a sword that strikes downward to sever a hand reaching from the right toward a royal crown, symbolising the miraculous deliverance of the Danish crown from Swedish aggression during the siege of Copenhagen in 1659. The scene is rendered in high relief with dramatic baroque expressiveness. A partial beaded circle encloses the central device. The abbreviated legend along the outer field reads 'SOLI DEO GLORIA' with the date reference 'ii Feb', commemorating the specific date of the military engagement. The reverse composition powerfully encapsulates the providential narrative favoured in contemporary commemorative coinage. |
