| Reverse description | A detailed view of Christiansborg Fort, the Danish trading post on the Gold Coast of Guinea (present-day Ghana), depicted in profile rising from the sea. The fortification is shown with its central tower flying the Danish Dannebrog flag, flanked by low bastions with embrasures, the whole structure surrounded by water in the foreground. The scene is rendered in a flat, cartographic engraving style characteristic of the period. The upper legend CHRISTIANS-BORG • curves around the fort, while the lower legend IN • GUINEA • appears in the exergue, identifying the location commemorated by this colonial gold issue. |
