Reverse description A roaring elephant in full stride to the left, rendered in bold Baroque relief, bearing a castellated tower (howdah) on its back and carrying a banner displaying the crowned Danish royal arms. The date 1673 appears in the exergue below the elephant, separated by a ground line. The composition reflects the heraldic tradition of the Danish Order of the Elephant and is characteristic of the high-quality goldsmith work associated with the Copenhagen Mint under Christian V.
