| Reverse description | A large fully-rigged three-masted sailing vessel dominates the central field, shown at anchor in a harbor with rigging and flags rendered in fine detail, including a Danish pennant at the mainmast. To the left, the fortified walls and towers of Christiansborg fort (on the Gold Coast, present-day Ghana) are depicted in low relief. The monogram of the Danish West India Company (DWC) appears on the hull of the ship. The date 1699 is inscribed in the lower exergue, and the legend CHRISTIANS-BORG arcs across the upper field, referencing the company's trading post. |
