| Reverse description | A detailed engraving of a full-rigged three-masted sailing ship under way on the open sea occupies the central field, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The ship, rendered with considerable detail including furled sails, rigging, and waves, alludes to the Danish colonial maritime trade. The date, here 1748, appears below the ship within the inner circle at the base. The surrounding outer legend, running continuously around the periphery between the inner circle and the milled rim, reads XII. SKIL. DANSK. FOR. DE. DANSK. AMERIC. INSULER, denoting the denomination and its intended circulation territory of the Danish American islands. |
