| Reverse description | A standing female figure, representing Fortune or the city's patron allegory, occupies the center of the reverse field, depicted full-length, partially draped, standing atop a sphere and holding aloft a billowing sail or cloth with both hands raised. The figure is rendered in a lively, somewhat crude style typical of provincial hammered coinage of the period. The date 1629 appears to the left of the figure within the field. The surrounding legend, set within a beaded border, reads · MO : NO : CIVI : GLUCKSTADE ·, identifying this as a new coin of the City of Glückstadt. The overall composition reflects the municipal pride of the newly founded city under Christian IV's patronage. |
